5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT COLLECTION OF STORIES, December 6, 2005
Flames of Damnation is a manga-sized, black and white graphic novel showcasing the talents of numerous artists and writers in a collection of two dozen stories set within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The first thing that stands out about this 224 page book is the uniform quality of the art. From the first page to the last, the art is outstanding. While some are certainly better than others, I can say with all honesty that there is no weak jobs in the book. That's quite an accomplishment considering the number of different people working on the book. The stories range in page count from 6 to 12 pages or so and are culled from the pages of Warhammer monthly. This is kind of a bash book as the stories are not connected in anyway but are just different, small slices of the Warhammer 40,000 milieu.

A few of my favorite stories in the book included: "Single Combat" written by veteran WH scribe Dan Abnett with phenomenal art by Kevin Hopgood, telling the tale of the last two combatant survivors on a war torn planet and their final battle to the death.

"Zero Option" is another great Abnett story with art by David Pugh. In this story, a lone company of imperial guards mans a lonely outpost on a frozen planet, waiting desperately for help to arrive and holding off the hordes of chaos. At the end we see the fateful means in which they go to survive.

"Predator and Prey" is about a primitive plant on the fringe of the empire. It's native inhabitants, alien tribesmen find themselves in a hunt and struggle with a chaos demon and hoping that the great empire will eventually come to their aid...but reality for this world is much different.

Writer Gordon Rennie and Artist Karl Richardson submit "Last Stand on Yayor" about the desperate struggle of the inhabitants of this planet against hordes of zombie plague infested armies. The Confessor of Agriworld is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice.

In "Black Bone Road", a rogue Psyker is causing a malignant influence on the populace of a planet that even the Space Marines are challenged to stop. Story by Graham McNeill and art by John Standing.

A very well done collection of stories that is great for relative newbies to the Warhammer 40,000 world as it serves as action-jammed indoctrination without getting too far in depth. Awesome!

4.0 out of 5 stars W40K Comic Novel, July 18, 2006
Here is a collection of Warhammer 40,000 tales that prove the courage and raw determination of the mighty Space Marines and Imperial Guardsmen. They hunt down and destroy all the enemies of mankind. They crush all invading greenskin (orks) hordes and lay waste to all the horrible forces of Chaos.

**** I found only a few flaws. Most readers either will not notice the errors or simply not care since they are so minor. Yet I could not help but wonder how an ork would know what "playing chicken" even meant. Otherwise, Warhammer 40,000 fans will love the non-stop battles described within these stories ... whether the humans win or lose. ****

4.0 out of 5 stars Bravery and sacrifice for the Emporer., December 19, 2006
By C. T. Hunter "chips_books" (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This black and white graphic novel is comprised of about 20 individual and unrelated short stories from various Warhammer authors and artists. A wide variety of characters experiencing carnage and intense battles are found here, with space marines and guardsmen fighting chaos, orks, and tau. The overriding theme of the stories is the necessity and willingness of Imperial soldiers to sacrifce themselves for the good of the Imperium. Bravery and selflessness in the face of terror carries the day here.

Highly recommended for fans of Warhammer graphic art.
