Swordquest #0

by Chad Bowers, Chris Sims, Scott Kowalchuk (Artist)

Peter Case was a boy on a quest. The quest to win the prizes from Atari’s SwordQuest challenge! He was counting down the days to the release of the final game, AirWorld, only to be shattered when the news surfaced that it would never be released. Now Peter is an adult…and things aren’t going well. The bad news is he has to move back in with his mother. The good news is she still has all of his old Atari stuff. With nothing else to look forward to, his obsession with SwordQuest is reignited, in a more…ummm, interesting way… Written by Chad Bowers and Chris Sims (X-Men ’92, Down Set Fight) and art by Scott Kowalchuk (Batman ’66, Down Set Fight). This is the SwordQuest comic we’ve been waiting for since 1983!

Certainly a lot of fun for an Atari junkie like myself. A whole lot of set up as a you would expect from an introduction issue. Interested to see where it goes and if they can sustain a good story and level of intrigue over the next few issues considering the subject matter. Hoping it's well done and doesn't degenerate into 80s nostalgia porn. Think of it as Ready Player One, the Super Light Version.

Um... I don't know what I expected from this, but it certainly wasn't this. Slow pace, old-school style story... I can give it a try to the next issue and see what happens next, as the background looks promising, but cannot say anything that good about this comic so far.

This was just bad. Man it was awful.
