Review: Fantasy Heartbreak by Kieron Gillen

Title: Fantasy Heartbreaker
Author: Kieron Gillen
Artist: Stephanie Hans
Series/Standalone: Die (Volume #1)
Genre: Graphic Novels, RPG, Fantasy, Adult
Pages: 184
Publisher: Image Comics
Year Published: 2019
Format: Paperback (Library Copy)

"The Wicked + The Divine writer Kieron Gillen teams up with artist supernova Stephanie Hans (WicDiv, Journey Into Mystery) for her first ongoing comic. Die is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they only just survived as teenage role-players. If Kieron's in a rush, he describes it as "Goth Jumanji", but that's only the tip of this obsidian iceberg."

My Rating: 4/5

This was a really wonderful introduction to the world and the characters. I absolutely adored the art style and the storytelling method. Seeing the characters in past and present helps to gain suspense as we're wondering what happened fully to them in the past as well as how they ended up where they are in their lives now. I look forward to continuing the series.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
