REVIEW: Deathstalker Issue 2

Issue two of Deathstalker arrives this week and if you like a mature fantasy/adventure you are in for a treat. Vault Comics and creators Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Slash, Tim Seeley, and Jim Terry in partnership with writer/director Steven Kostanski are behind this comic book adaptation of the original 1983 sword and sorcery movie. They have put together a story of the return of the last great warrior king.

The story follows the adventures of Deathstalker and his friend Kurn who find themselves in trouble almost immediately when Deathstalker saves a princess from a religious cult. Deathstalker and his trusty sword always find trouble. This is no different in issue 2.

Deathstalker is a true warrior having no issues cutting through anyone that seems to be a threat. The fighting scenes are plenty throughout this issue as Deathstalker now represents The Light of Abraxeon. You will need to check out issue one to understand how this has happened!

Tim Seeley has written for every major publisher on titles like Green Lantern, GI Joe, Nightwing and creator owned titles like Hack/Slask and Eisner nominated Local Man. Jim Terry is a Ignatz nominated writer and has worked on titles like Hack/Slash, The Crow, Heavy Metal, and West of Sundown.
