I love Amazon's comic book formatting. It really does a good job of letting you follow like you would a paper comic.

The story here is interesting and I am excited to read the next issue

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from Marz. September 13, 2012

By Kaylyn Meyers

I've been a long time fan of Ron Marz, the Witchblade and Artifacts series being some of my favorites. This comic is no exception to showcasing his talents. Picked it up at the Baltimore Comic Con, read it that night, and loved it. Awesome as well that it's free! So there's no reason not to give it a shot ;)

This is an excellent comic drawn from a compelling screenplay. The illustrations are dark and compelling, and they fit the story well. It provides a great introduction to the full story. I hope that the movie is made!
