In Deathstalker: The Damned Blood, co-created by Slash, the legendary sword-swinging antihero is thrust into a chaotic quest involving a virgin-worshipping cult, a mad scientist sorcerer, and a vengeful ex-lover. Hired to escort a priestess to a festival celebrating her purity, what should have been a simple mission goes terribly wrong. He soon finds himself on the run, pursued by both a fanatical cult and a deranged sorcerer.
The graphic novel is packed with sex, blood, and gore, with humor woven throughout. The artwork is detailed and well executed. Overall, it’s an entertaining read, and longtime fans of Deathstalker will likely enjoy this latest adventure. As someone unfamiliar with the franchise, I appreciated the background information included at the beginning, along with the mention of an upcoming movie adaptation for fans who are interested in seeing a live-action version of the book. My favorite part of the graphic novel was the bonus short story featuring Barbaric.
