[Sasa · Rating 2.75 out of 5]

the anthem comic book is supposed to be a prequel to the game but the ending shows fort tarsis getting absolutely wrecked. when the player begins the game, they start in fort tarsis and the fort acts as the central hub for rest, talking to residents, gathering quests, etc. at best, this comic book would confuse people unfamiliar with the game and at worst, it will bore readers. throughout its entirety, not a single thing about freelancers, the different javelins, and the things that make anthem interesting was utilized. take for example the western godzilla movies. most people want to see kaiju fights and cool visuals. the audience doesn't care about the people because they're the most boring part of the story. that's how i felt about this anthem series. bioware was so incredible at writing powerful narratives with great characters but this just wasn't up to snuff. the art is nice though!

Meh

I expected more than this am disappointed it certainly isn't much of a backstory to the game it's based on. The art is good but it lacks as a crew of interest.
