Not sure if it's because I watched the movie recently and really enjoyed it, so this is hitting me in my "more of the same" hindbrain or if it's because I haven't read a traditional American-style comic book in a while so reading this scratched a satisfying itch I didn't know I have. It's a good story and enjoyable to read, I'm really not trying to damn this comic with faint praise. But I do think I may have enjoyed it more because I read it at this particular moment in time. Not really understanding all the disdain this is getting heaped on it from the reviews I've read. Honestly, I really liked this one. Good story, well-paced, and an interesting concept. Is the art perfect? No. But it works for the story for the most part, and god knows I've seen a lot worse. And, while I know Goodreads is about the books, not the adaptations, I gotta say, the Netflix movie follows this storyline pretty much beat for beat. Definitely reading the next volume. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

And so we find our motley group of immortal mercenaries taking new assignments in modern age - one assignment too many that will endanger them all.
So if you look at the story itself it is nothing new - it is standard story of warrior band facing the impossible odds. If we want to be true all sagas and myths are more or less the same. But that does not deduct from the experience (at least for me :)).
Story concentrates on the price of immortality (very much in vein of Highlander) and I especially like the twist on the immortality itself. Wont spoil it here but it is an interesting twist on the subject.
Recommended to all fans of action and adventure. ( )
