LONDRA, EYLÜL 1940
Eddie Gorm, savaş günlerinde East End doklarındaki küçük işletmesini ayakta tutabilmek için içki kaçırmak, ordu erzağını zimmetine geçirmek, rakipleriyle hesaplaşmak gibi bir takım kanunsuz işlere bulaşmak zorunda kalan basit bir tüccardır.
Ne savaşla ne de Nazilerle ilgilenecek vakti vardır.
Her şey bir anda, hiç beklenmedik bir şekilde değişir ve dünyayı atom bombası felaketinden kurtarabilecek yegâne kişi olan Eddie, kendisini karmaşık bir entrikalar ağının tam ortasında buluverir.

2,5 of 5. This is Assassin's Creed mini-series, which came in two double-sized issues. The first issue is WW2 spy story with the touch of sci-fi in the form of AC's lore, in the second one prevails the AC's stuff. I must say I liked the first part more. I know the basic of AC's lore and the second part has too much for it for me to be something to enjoy. It could be good for someone who knows AC's background well, but not for me. The skilled English docker infiltrating high Nazi ranks and the secret project was fun, the rest is just mediocre story maybe bringing new pieces to AC's (and history of Animus or how the hell it is called). The art is close to common Dynamite's and Titan's movie/game adaptations, so it is fairly good without any weird stuff (except injecting antidepressive pills to pacient. Capsules. By syringe and needle...). Bottom line - I kind(t) of enjoyed that, but I can only recommend this for AC's fans and WW2 comics enthusiast. Because there is no other "added value" than that.

Total waste of time and a disservice to both Tesla and Heisenberg. A mashup of Captain America: The First Avenger with Assassin's Creed lore couldn't work out in any case, but on top of this absolute lack of originality the story got so muddied by the constant betrayals and side-switching and the preaching tone of "there's no black and white, only shades of grey" that I soon stopped caring about anything happening there, losing my patience and the remnants of my good will along the way.
Not recommended, even to fans of AC.

Un premier tome introductif de l'univers des Assassins et des Templiers.
Le début était un peu lent et poussif, mais l'histoire se termine sur un cliffhanger et on veut forcément connaître la suite !
Je pense que je ne vais pas trop tarder pour lire le tome 2.

J’ai beaucoup aimé les dessins et l’histoire : elle est un peu compliquée à suivre par moment mais l’ambiance Assassins / templiers est super ! Une belle lecture !

شاید بهترین کمیک از سری اسسینها باشه.

بسی لذتبخش!
شروع جدیدی برای مجموعه اسسینها.
من کتاب/کمیک زیادی از اسسینها نخوندم، اما این شروع و این شماره باعث شد که حسابی علاقمند بشم.
توی فکرشم که کتاباش رو هم بخونم.

Assassin's Creed: Conspiracies is a basically fine, if not especially memorable, entry into the long-running series.
This collection includes two issues, and blends them together into one continuous story (although it's clear in the narrative where one ends and the other begins). Conspiracies follows Eddie Gorm, an Assassin during World War II, as he tries to stop Templar projects that spell doom for the world. It follows the basic Assassin's Creed formula -- inspired by real historical events and characters like Nikola Tesla and the Philadelphia Experiment, but making them part of the centuries-old battle between Assassins and Templars. It has a few interesting story twists, with shifting and unclear allegiances, and some intrigue with Gorm's modern-day descendent reliving his memories. But while the life of Eddie Gorm is interesting and tragic (although I could do without the forced and inauthentic romance he strikes up), it doesn't come to any sort of firm conclusion in the modern day (allowing the plot to continue in Bloodstone, a later-released Assassin's Creed comic series). It feels like too much obvious set-up and not enough payoff -- like you're blatantly getting only half the story.
The art is very strong, especially in the first issue, with beautifully changing colors, strong lines, and good character design. However, with lots of characters wearing similar coats and hoods, it can sometimes be hard to tell who is speaking when faces aren't in the foreground. The font size in English is also very small, often not filling the speech bubbles and leaving distracting amounts of wasted white space in them. Speech bubbles often run too close to the center of the book, causing the ends of words to disappear into the spine. The included cover gallery doesn't add much, considering the collection is only two issues long and there are no alternate covers.
Conspiracies doesn't feel like it's going to be a particularly memorable addition to the Assassin's Creed canon. But the WWII setting is nice, the story has quite a few twists, and the art is good, so big-time Assassin's Creed fans looking for another side story in the universe could do worse -- as long as you don't mind needing to pay for another series afterword to finish the story.

Chronique complète :

Extrait :
Assassin’s Creed : Conspirations est une série sous format BD en 2 tomes, édité par Les Deux Royaumes. L’intrigue de cette série ce place durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, en Europe, où le but est d’éviter l’invention d’une arme dévastatrice par les templiers. La Seconde Guerre Mondiale est également apparu du côté des jeux, dans Assassin’s Creed Unity, non pas dans la quête principale, mais en extrait, elle est aussi apparue dans Syndicate avec un peu plus d’importance.
J’avoue être peu habituée au format BD pour ce genre de récit (je suis plus habituée au BD comme Titeuf qui sont en sketch court et non une histoire continue), de ce fait, ce premier tome m’a semblé assez court et résumé. Malgré cela, il va à l’essentiel et évite des passages ennuyeux sans réels importance pour le scénario et réussi à faire l’introduction sur l’histoire du présent qui est importante dans cette série.
Les risques encourue par l’utilisation abusif de l’Animus est clairement montré dans ce cours extrait du présent avec un début de convulsions et enfin un trouble de la personnalité qui nous fais douter de qui nous sommes.

3,5 Stars.
I liked the story and if you're an AC lore nerd like me it's a great addition but the characters, besides Eddie, are quite forgetable if you ask me and the fast pacing is sort of annoying as characters die left and right and the art style is icky so there are times I can't see what the writer and artist are doing.

I guess I liked the mechanics of the Assassin's Creed games. I never really got into the story. Not sure why I bothered to read this.

Pretty good
This is quite an interesting comic. WW2 is a theme that is not used in Assassin's universe and this comic does it.

Good idea but issues
It's an interesting premise that fits in to the AC universe well, but translation issues broke the overall flow. It's a fun read, just could have spent more time translating it more effectively.

Honestly one of the better AC comics, though it kind of fizzles out in the present day half of the story.

A nicely drawn book that is a good little story and a fun tie in to Assassins Creed.
