This is a real mixed bag. Lots and lots of short story comics. Some of them are really good. A lot of them are kinda meh. A few of them just aren't very good. If you're really into Warhammer 40K, you'll probably find a few things to enjoy. I thought it was OK overall.

Not a whole lot to say about this. It is a collection of Warhammer stories. While some were just fine, other were just extremely bland. None were impactful or super rememberable. The art inside was pretty good, but not great enough to save from the mediocre stories.

[Paulo "paper books only" · Rating 3 out of 5]

ese novels were printed long ago by Black Library as Warhammer Monthly. The first one Flames of Damnation is a compiliation of several stories made by dozen artists and writers. Some of them are quite good and we good feedback about what is Warhammer 40k. Some are depressing and tells us the tales of some fighting man. Others are in the point of view of other characters/races. Unfortunally not all the stories are that good and most important is the artist phase. Some stories loose their importance because of the artist designs; either because it's too confusing or the letters are in some spots that are incredibly hard to read unless I break the spine of the book. 7/10

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.
