For those trying to keep track, Birthright #36 seems to to be the start of a new arc and to get us going it gives the reader a rehash of the general idea of what the book is about. Apparently on July 1st, 1947 the US government concocted the Roswell incident as a distraction from the the discovery of a four-armed monster that have been killing campers. That Discovery, confirm’s that and #1 magic is real, #2 it is present in unknown quantities and has been hidden away in different locations on the Earth, and #3 the whole history that people have been told was a lie.
90% of the story in Birthright # 36 is really good, especially for a first time reader. The concept is good, the art is really good and detailed. The lettering is actually really good and very easy to get through; however, there seems to be a stall in the story, once it gets to the the modern day, no new information is put forth, until a change of scenery was conducted.
Nit-pick criticisms: The Birthright concept was already solid…why the need to connect to the Roswell incident in fact it states that it was done on July 1st 1947 however newspaper clippings indicate that the Rosewell incident actually happened on July 8th 1947.
Going forward it has already been established that  The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman will produce a film version of the comic Birthright at Universal Pictures as part of the studio“s first-look deal with Kirkman“s Skybound Entertainment. The fantasy series, will be produced by David Alpert, Bryan Furst, Sean Furst, Jeb Brody, The team will rely on Despicable Me writers Cinco Pauland Ken Daurio to write the film.
