Exploring the conflicts and tensions between the Germanic tribes and the Roman Empire in a historically inspired comic book
Dead Romans Issue #1, written by Fred Kennedy, is an engaging historical fiction comic book that brings to life the conflicts and tensions between the Germanic tribes and the Roman Empire during the 1st century AD.
The story centers around a Germanic Prince named Armenius, who plans to rescue his love, Honoria, from Roman captivity and build an army to defeat the Roman forces. While the issue focuses primarily on character development and setting the groundwork for the larger story, the dialogue between Armenius and Honoria is well-written and their chemistry feels genuine.
The artwork, done by Miko Maciaszek, effectively captures the atmosphere of the historical setting, from the Germanic tribal village to the arrival of the Roman army. The attention to detail and the use of muted colors create a sense of realism and authenticity.
While the story is a fictional account, it is clear that Kennedy has done his research and used historical events as inspiration for the narrative. This approach adds depth and authenticity to the story, making it an immersive read.
Overall, Dead Romans Issue #1 is a promising start to a historically inspired fictional tale of romance, intrigue, and warfare. If you’re a fan of historical fiction or epic tales, this comic book is definitely worth checking out, especially with Kennedy’s writing and Maciaszek’s artwork.
