They put Dota 2 details such as lores, sounds and even items beautifully in it. You can download it for free from dotaverse.net/comics.

I try review everything I read, including Christmas presents which fall outside my normal reading selection.

Summary:
Dota loregasm > Dota comics

I like phoenix like a moth like lamp, so I was disappointed that there was no firebird in this. Legion commander was boring as expected. Rylai didn't fit her character (dislikes Lina more, less polite and sweet, more vain). Monkey and spiders can have relationships? I think ax's humour saved it from being completely forgetful.

The art is fine but fairly basic for a comic, as in there are no fine details. The narrative was weak, short and simple. It's nice to have in this big format but it disguises how little there is to read and how quickly it can be understood. I was expecting to learn more about the game or its mythological bases. They need Slacks to guide these, not recommended for dota fans over Slack's loregasm which is far more thorough and interesting (and free!).

I like Dota and have a team of Dota players. Of course I follow all news about this game, watch live streams, follow the statistic. If you don't know such website as https://wewatch.gg/dota2/players , I'll recommend it to you. But what about the comic collection. I think that really it doesn't add too much. The art is great and it's the end. I wanted to know more about the game

I like DOTA a lot, but I don't really think that trying to force these comics adds much to the world.

Good but want more ...

Love how balanced the book is with comedy, drama and action. Wish one of my favorite heroes could have made the cut (looking at you Rubick) oh well, still a very fun read.
