---------------- In the magical world of Velaria, four champions have ended the ancient war between humans and dragons after slaying Ariyon, the commander and last member of the dragon's army. It is said that all orphans come from the mother dragon and thus bear the surname "Dragonborn". Believed to bring bad luck to their communities, it was rumored that all orphans were to be killed after the war. Nevertheless, a baby appears in a basket floating in a river after the final battle. One of the four champions finds this baby and decides to train and raise her, but this orphan has a secret nobody knows. Her name is Alena of Dragonborn.
EPISODE 6: ----------------- Alena and john are back home after their first assignment as a newbie patrolling squad. Their mission ended up with them saving their lifes miraculously from a weird couple of goblins thanks to the awaken of a stunning dormant power inside alena. She does not understand where this awesome power comes from and she has not been able to replicate it even though how hard she has tried.
Some days have passed and john and alena are immersed in a new patrolling squad mission. Everything indicates that Eric Mane, one of the most powerful senior wizards of the town of Velaria, has been kidnapped. They do not know it, but the responsibles of doing it are that strange couple of goblins they defeated during their first mission. These goblins were spying Alena's whereabouts having the ability of going unnoticed by introducing theirselves on the body of animals (a cat and a pig to be more precise). These goblins take Eric to their "pit", where their owner gives Eric an stunning power by converting him into her slave.
While Eric has a new mission for his new owner, Alena and John got into a trap previously set by the goblins...
Introducing myself as an aerospace engineer by day and an avid lover of sports, literature (including books, comic books, and graphic novels), movies, TV series, traveling, and photography, I have always harbored a deep desire to create my own story. However, I have never been confident in my writing abilities with pen and paper. Fortunately, I have discovered a way to bring my creative ideas to life with the help of 3D software and Photoshop.
Drawing inspiration from my favorite literary works such as "The Lord of the Rings," "Ender's Game," various manga series, and video games such as "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy," I am currently in the process of creating and self-publishing an original action-adventure comic series. My ultimate goal is to release a new episode every 2-3 months, both digitally and physically in the future.
Join me in my imaginative world of Velaria, where thrilling adventures await!
Okay, I admit it. And I’ve said it before; I am in love with John. I honestly can’t get enough of his not-so-innocent expressions, but I wish he was a bit more saucy in these later editions of the Dragon Sword Comic. Maybe he’s grown up a little, I don’t know.
I’m not partial to the ladies, so the frequent swish of miniature undergarments doesn’t set my heart on fire, but I do respect Alena for the dragon-slaying, kick-arse hero she is. And I do recognise that John is following in her footsteps. (But please, let’s see him in an appropriate loincloth as he fights a fire-breathing dinosaur. Something like that.) The risque nature is somewhat muted, but this is a story with a sad end (after all).
Ricardo Sanchez Medina’s artwork is improving at a greater rate than his story-telling, but that’s okay. We want to look at the pictures (though we’re unsure why Alena abandoned her red drag queen heels). This is a colourful, exciting world, and Episode 6 continues to deliver. There’s enough action, comedy and almost a touch of romance for any reader.
There are a few unexpected turns and a little heartbreak for Alena, who uncharacteristically doesn’t hide her emotions. A significant setback forces her and John to weigh their options—do they head to the big city in search of support, or do they risk everything and go it alone? There are going to be consequences in the long term, and thankfully, Dragon Sword Comic is “To be Continued...”
I love the world-building and the broader array of characters. Ricardo Sanchez Medina has clearly found his stride with Daz 3D, and the results are stunning. Better artwork helps the characters feel more rounded. It’s a great product (I read it on my Mac for full effect).
I have a hunch that Alena is finally growing up. It seems like she’s had to mature in the face of what’s happened, and perhaps the next episode will see her dressed as a major political figure, leaving my heartthrob John to fend for himself...
Nothing telegraphs “we are about to explain ourselves” quite like a flashback. Dragon Sword Episode 6 embraces that mechanic with the kind of narrative shrug that might be ironic or might just be habit. Either way, the result is exposition that mostly behaves itself. We are returned to the Velaria School timeline where characters train, talk, and inevitably experience trauma. The flashback is less a revelation and more a well-lit corridor we walk through because the story needs somewhere to go.
The goblin boss duo is either a half-remembered parody or a surreal interruption. Their presence is distracting, but not unpleasant. They function like comedic foils or possibly forgotten mascots from a 90s RPG. John’s water spell, barely stronger than a sink drip, is a highlight not because it is funny but because the comic does not try to tell you it is. It simply happens and we are left to decide what kind of story we are reading.
If you are looking for structure, this episode is similar to a bridge in a recent Red Hot Chili Peppers song. Not the chaotic fun of their 90s albums, but the sort of melodic meandering they do now. Competent, inoffensive, and transitional. That is not an insult. Sometimes stories need room to breathe and this gives the series a pause without collapsing under the weight of its own backstory.
The death of the uncle is written with restraint. It is not a standout moment but it is handled cleanly and without sentimentality. As a pivot into Episode 7 it works well enough. The visuals remain consistent, with clear lines and decent pacing. There are no risks taken but nothing falls apart either.
This is a chapter that does what it needs to do. It holds the narrative together and adds some texture without becoming melodrama or filler. Four stars.
This latest episode has a lot going on and serves as the bridge connecting to the epic conflict to come. What makes this one a little different than the others is the added depth of emotion and serious themes. Alena has to deal with significant grief when she loses her mentor and father figure. The characters here remain compelling. Alena is brave, resourceful, and committed. John has been my favorite character in previous episodes and he remains that way here. He is unfailingly loyal and a little goofy and awkward in a puppy dog sort of way. The cartoonish goblin minions make an appearance and continue to entertain.
The action is more limited than other episodes, but it doesn't suffer because of it. We see the two main characters survive an attack by a dinosaur, but, for the most part, they aren't driving the action as much as responding to unfolding events. That's why this felt more like a bridge episode to me. We see the rise of a new menace, and there is still some mystery around the primary villain and her motivations. We also see Alena getting closer to stepping into ther destiny, which perhaps required the mentor to be removed first.
This remains very visually appealing. The art is reminiscent of some of the best RPGs, with Dragon Age jumping to mind. the story also weaves comedy and drama together effectively. The author is creating a great series that has moments of heavy action followed by reflective periods, but all building towards an epic showdown. If you enjoyed the earlier episodes, you will definitely enjoy this one. The characters remain easy to root for as their stories are slowly told. I look forward to the next episode to see what Alena becomes and how she and John are able to meet the growing threat. Well done.
Dragon Sword Comic – Episode 6 is another comic/graphic novel that follows Alena and John, a patrolling squad team, as they try to protect the citizens of Velaria. This episode starts with Alena and John hanging upside down in a trap set by the evil goblins. They coax a nearby triceratops to charge them and use the attack to get free. The two heroes then notice smoke and fire back in town and rush back to see what’s up. Furthermore, they find the library is on fire and Alena enters to rescue her uncle who she believes is inside. Full of racy pictures of Alena and constant action, this comic will appeal to adolescent boys. This episode has less action and a simpler plot line than earlier ones, and it spends some time in flashbacks of Alena’s training. It is also a little more confusing since it’s not clear how her uncle dies in the fire, while Alena escapes, or what is the point of the flashback to the magic syndicate where Alena learns the double spell from a master we have not previously met. Still, the episode carries the story forward and will be enjoyed by those who have followed the series.
I won’t lie and I can’t lie. I am an ardent admirer of this graphic series. Not only was it my inaugural dive into this genre, but I also adore every intricate detail and plot twist that unfolds within its pages. Ricardo has truly outdone himself once more with what is now the sixth installment of Dragon Sword, which I find myself eagerly devouring. Once again, I breezed through it in a single afternoon, captivated by its light yet engaging narrative. Alena and John have returned, ready to embark on their quest to save the world, but as always, their journey spirals into unexpected chaos and thrilling misadventures. Once more, the artwork maintains the consistently high standard that Ricardo has upheld throughout the entire series. The character models are as impressive as ever, capturing intricate details and expressions that reflect the escalating stakes in this world. The vibrant colors leap off the pages, creating a vivid and immersive experience for the reader. It's truly remarkable to witness Ricardo's ongoing improvement, as each page now feels like a living canvas. Keep up the great work mate.
A fun graphic novel to satisfy a craving for epic fantasy.
It turns out that graphic novels on the Kindle are pretty cool since this is the first time I’ve read a series like this on the device. If you’re in the mood for some fantasy fare, you will find all the tropes here to fit your fancy. There were also a few surprises that I have not seen elsewhere in epic fantasy, for example, a triceratops. This graphic novel is action heavy and the panels are planned in order to accentuate this. What I found particularly interesting was the illustration style which I had never seen before. From the introductory page, I learned that the author is using a 3D program for character modeling and poses along with Photoshop to direct the characters and create the settings. While I found it unusual at first, it won me over in the end and I was pulled into the story. There does seem to be some additional tweaking that might have done to make the illustrations even better. For example, when the characters are suspended upside down, their hair defies gravity. Small details like this could use some improvement, but it didn’t take away from the overall entertainment experience.
It’s an enthralling fantasy series set in the magical world of Velaria, where humans and dragons have finally found peace after centuries of war.

Final Thoughts:
It’s an addictive fantasy series with impressive character development and world-building. Episode 6 raises the stakes, introducing new challenges and mysteries.
Following Alena's adventures in this captivating comic series has been a true delight, and Episode 6, titled "The Turning Point," is no exception! This installment is packed with thrilling action sequences and stunning artwork that brings the story to life. But it’s not just about the excitement; we also witness some genuinely tender moments that add emotional depth to the narrative.
One standout scene for me was the flashback with Alena and her uncle. It was a poignant reminder of the stakes at play and offered a glimpse into Alena’s character at a deeper level.
As the series progresses, each character continues to be developed in meaningful ways. I especially enjoy the dynamics between Alena and John. He may not be perfect, but his good intentions make him a compelling counterpart to Alena. Their interactions, particularly during quieter moments, add a layer of depth to their relationship that is both relatable and heartwarming.
Entertaining and accessible, this episode made a fantastic addition to the series. I can't wait to see what's next in this fun fantasy world!
Alena and John are at it again, but now the stakes are getting higher. Like the prior episodes, the action comes quickly, complete with a raging dinosaur. There’s very little silliness in this volume, though, because what has been happening in the village hits the unlikely heroes hard. Whether they like it or not, Alena and John are in the big-leagues now.
While confronting personal loss, Alena is exposed to some mysteries of her past. The author delivers several pages of backstory that I really appreciated for the insight they granted. The net effect is an increased level of complexity to both the storyline and the characters.
Though I have enjoyed the prior books, I welcome the added tension that comes from the twists and turns in this addition. I can’t wait to see what hurdles fate tosses in Alena’s path as she pursues her new destiny with John bumbling along at her side.
DRAGON SWORD COMIC: EPISODE 6 by Ricardo Sánchez Medina feels like the series is hitting its stride. Other entries might not have struck the right balance of action and resolution, i.e. one felt like it was just a lot of setup. By contrast, this one has enough action and story development, and stops at the right time to leave us wanting more.
Speaking of the ending, I don’t recall much emotion in prior entries – though the series is action-packed enough where emotion is normally unnecessary. But it was surprisingly nice to see some feelings here.
Dragon Sword Comic is all about its pictures, and that’s true here. Very pretty pictures, often of people who are not bad looking either. This book introduces or develops more evil characters, so we can start to see the contours of the challenge our heroes will face.
We know that these gifted warriors are up to the task, especially now that they can see their complementary skills and the benefits of working together.
Just finished reading dragon sword, episode six by Ricardo Sanchez Medina. The episode starts off with our main characters Alena and John in a bit of a muddle. Tied upside down to a tree seemed the least of their worries when Alena encouraged a giant triceratops to charge through the ropes and release them! The story moves on when their arrival at the town library, which is fully ablaze with flames. Alena Uncle was trapped inside after an unresolved dispute. Sadly, John’s aquo spell was not much cop at stopping the fire. It was too late for Alena’s uncle who perished. In the aftermath, John finds a letter from the uncle explaining the whereabouts of the precious gems. He gives it to Alena, thereby spawning the next adventure. This episode introduces a few new characters who I didn’t quite recognise and there were a few elements of the plot I didn’t pick up on so well. In summary, these comics are still a very doable read and good entertainment for the price point.
I read a few comic books in this series before this one. I generally like them. Alena is a strong, sexy character. She’s a warrior. Her companion, John, is good with magic. His oversexed attitude and fumbling ways are very good for comic relief. The storyline is both tense and funny. Just enough of Alena is shown to keep it sexy too. I always enjoy the goblin couple. I was happy to see them back. The small one is smart and the big one stupid. They always make me laugh. The character Eric adds a bit of greed and darkness to the story. The illustrations are vivid and realistic looking. I think this goes well with the type of story it is. The content is good for adults, but it’s not so sexual that it would be inappropriate for young adults. Probably PG 13. Overall, this is a light-hearted, sword and sorcery comic book. I highly recommend it for some light reading.
I enjoyed Dragon Sword Episode 6. I got through the book fairly quickly. I rarely read graphic novels but seem to enjoy these ones. The artwork is pretty cool and I enjoy the the banter between the two main characters. It wasn’t perfect but it has me hooked to keep reading the series.
The books are an escape for me. They’re not revolutionary but I find myself getting lost in the dialogue and the artwork.
I will say that I felt the flashback to Elena as a child was slightly weird. Especially since she was wearing similar clothing. As an adult, the author means for her to be a sex symbol and quite often shows her in states of undress. Just a bit weird to take it back to her childhood for me. I’m sure others might disagree but just my opinion.
Keep up the great work on the novels and we’ll keep reading.
Dragon Sword Episode 6 feels like it is picking up the pace. It leads off from where Episode 5 ends, and the first encounter is certainly a surprise. I enjoyed the early burst of action, reinforcing Alena’s power and prowess, and that we quickly settle back into the story.
There are a couple of key elements to the story which I won’t spoil but clearly intricate things are moving on from the training grounds. There is a shocking scene which drives the plot forward, and also a flashback where we can see just why the characters became who they are. I am excited to see the next steps and how the location will be reflected in the comics coming.
With each installment, I am growing more fond of Alena and John, and their story. The animations/art style are consistent, bright, and engaging and the fantasy setting is something that I am really enjoying. Looking forward to part seven.
I have really got into this series recently, I find myself examining every page with great detail. I love the animation, the not so subtle sexiness of it all. I think it appeals to men and women alike. The relationship and interactions with Alena and John are great and what really keeps the series on its toes. Also as a woman I love the shoes in this series and find myself wanting to own every pair! The series has great world building with sections that show you characters and maps and explain the setting to you to keep you up to date. The plot keeps you interested and the animation style is perfect. I’ll admit at a glance it was something I did not think I was interested in, but giving it a try was well worth it. I read it on kindle I imagine a hardcopy would be much better as it’s something that would look great in print. All in all, well worth your time.
Someone recommended this Dragon Sword series to me and said Episode 6 was their favorite so far. I don’t usually read graphic novels on my Kindle because I was afraid the format wouldn’t look right, but the reading experience was surprisingly pleasant. The files were clearly well prepared by the author, and everything displayed beautifully. The setup is great too. It includes a map of the land of Velaria, a map of the town, a summary of where we are at in the story, and two pages introducing the characters. This makes it easy to dive in without confusion and sets the tone right from the start.
The story itself begins with suspense and pulls you in immediately. I really enjoyed how dynamic it felt, almost like watching a video. The detailed moments and movements, paired with the text, made me hear the action as I read. A fun, immersive read that exceeded my expectations.
I have been following the adventures of Aleyna and John for a while now and am still enjoying the risqué humour and storytelling. This episode raises the stakes in the overall narrative and while I won't include any spoilers, we do lose a major character in this episode which has massive implications for Aleyna and the overall story. The saucy humour is still there but has toned down a bit and we learn a bit more about the villains and their endgame in this episode too. Great world building, great characters, good villains and a very enjoyable & entertaining story too. Ricardo Sanchez Medina's series remains one of my guilty pleasures and I am looking forward to the next part in the Dragon Sword comic tales. Lots of fun.
I’ll be honest — I’m not usually into comics, but this one really surprised me. Episode 6 was engaging, easy to follow, and visually compelling. The artwork pulled me in right away, and the story kept my attention far more than I expected.
The pacing worked well, the action was clear, and the world-building felt intentional instead of overwhelming. Even as someone who doesn’t regularly read comics, I found myself interested in what happens next.
If you enjoy fantasy, action, or are looking to try a comic that’s accessible even to non-comic readers, this is a solid pick.
Loved this latest installment of the dragon sword series by Ricardo Medina. There was plenty of good banter and humor between John and Alena. Lots of adventure. And especially in this episode there were many magic spells and lots of wizardry. I won't give it away, but this was a more moving and emotional episode than some of the previous ones. Definitely if you've come to love Alena's character, you will want to check this one out. Enjoyable, action-packed, somewhat sensual. A great series, I'm glad to see there will be more to come.
Another Great Instalment - Alena’s uncle is in danger but when they face a serious setback she and John must decide if they should travel to the big city to find the champions and some mythical gems. This is another great installment in the colourful and action packed comic book series. There are some truly heart wrenching moments as Alena’s life completely changes. I can’t wait to see what happens to her and John next.
Loving this next chapter in the series! Alena and John return from their first mission only to be pulled into another, more dangerous one involving a kidnapped wizard and mysterious goblins with shape-shifting powers. Alena’s hidden abilities add intrigue, and the plot twists keep you hooked. The artwork is absolutely stunning, and the story keeps getting better—fast-paced, magical, and full of surprises!
We are back in the magical world known as Velaria and it’s just as intriguing with amazing characters who protect their hometown and others through some crazy antics. There are goblins and kidnappers and wizards. But the beauty of it all comes in the form of the bold artwork that draws you in. If you love comics with magic and adventure, then you’ll love Dragon Sword Comics!
It will be very interesting to see how much they change and grow as people and in their power. Also what kinds of adventures await them. I'm enjoying the art and dialogue between the various characters.
