Explore a realm brimming with enigma, peril, allure, and sorcery in Image Comics’ fresh series titled Lost Fantasy, and after merely one issue, I find myself utterly captivated. The masterminds behind Lost Fantasy are Curt Pires, Luca Casalanguida, Mark Dale, and Micah Myers, and their ingenious blend of ancient magic, fearsome beasts, treachery, and grand fantasy is incredibly engrossing. This world that Lost Fantasy has constructed in just one issue is nothing short of remarkable, and while there are traces of Final Fantasy within it, the series manages to carve out its own distinctive identity, becoming something genuinely unique. The series has already piqued my interest, and with its potential to become something truly extraordinary, I can’t wait for more.
In Lost Fantasy, you find yourself stepping into the role of Henry Blackheart, a unique FBI consultant whose true identity goes beyond
In my enthusiasm, I could’ve delved deeper into the intricate dance between these two realms, as they grow increasingly entangled, but the journey back in time maintains its captivating pace, keeping me firmly rooted in Henry’s story. Yet, this detour to the past has enriched my comprehension of who Henry is and why his significance resonates so strongly.
I particularly enjoy the mix of artwork and treatment of larger fantasy themes in this issue. At first glance, it seems like a journey into grim dark fantasy, but soon enough, that idea is discarded to make way for something brighter, more fantastical. As the story unfolds, Luca Casalanguida, Mark Dale, and Micah Myers skillfully combine these diverse styles with a touch of horror, resulting in an aesthetic and mood that feels comfortably familiar yet uniquely its own.
In the realm of Lost Fantasy, I’ve found myself consistently on the edge of my seat, never quite knowing what’s coming next. One unexpected unveiling in this installment truly took me by surprise and left a lasting impression. I can’t give away the details, but let me tell you, Henry’s magical prowess plays a significant role in some scenes that have become my favorite moments of the issue.
It’s great that Henry Blackheart has many traits similar to Cloud Strife, which doesn’t bother me since I’m an avid Final Fantasy fan. Moreover, the story never seems like it’s trying to mimic something else, as these elements are merely subtle components within a larger universe and concept.
The novel “Lost Fantasy” doesn’t hesitate to venture boldly and create change, yet it remains a heartfelt tribute to its genre. This distinctive blend results in an exceptionally captivating first impression.
Lost Fantasy #1 hits comic stores on April 30th.
