All in all a great release from Mad Cave Studios; it looks and feels like they have upped their game, and they; are on their way up and up. I say this not just from this comic; but from seeing their upcoming comics and graphic novels. I think if you have not been keeping an eye on Mad Cave Studios, you should be keeping on an eye on this studio.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Overall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>","post_title":"Hunt.

With evil encroaching upon the Pridelands from every corner, each King has fought his own battles in order to both improve the lives of its citizens, and ultimately - keep them safe. This collection of \u2018Tales of Valderia\u2019, recounts the history of leadership starting from Eramad I down through his successors and the creation of the Battlecats. With a look back on the feline history and the great dangers that rose against them. As well as an in depth look into the Gods, lands, fractions and legendary heroes that sculpted the Vaderia of today. A must read for all Battlecats fans!<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Battlecats: Tales of Valderia\u2019 is a collection of the four part mini series that revolved around the history of Valderia. These issues all dealt with the Eramad dynasty and the Battlecats. Issue One followed King Eramad I as he mourned the loss of the great General Sai and gave birth to the idea of a group of felines to protect the nation. Following that we lead onto King Eramad II, who doubted his leadership so much that he exiled himself and left the country to the very capable fans of the nations most loved individual - the Great Goadar. Moving on, we meet a very young Kelthan as he is escorted to the White Marsh Islands by Natharien, to begin his training. From which Kelthan meets Valadar for the first time, when he was leader of the Battlecats and a trusted ally to the King. And lastly we have a story on Valadar, not long after he parted ways at the White Marsh Islands. As ordered by his King, he returns to his homeland of Blackstone and is disgusted by the carry on of his people. He becomes agitated and furious by their actions, making him an ideal target for the shrouded form of Myrthalen to make her move. Also included is the 2019 Halloween Comicfest Special, which recounted the battle between the former Battlecats led by Valadar and an unknown dark force that had taken hold of the people of Healer\u2019s Edge in Arkhovia.<\/span><\/p>\n There is so much going on in this series, that it\u2019s great to get a compiled mini series and guide such as this, to help expand our knowledge of the World we have been reading about for so long. The detailed maps, backgrounds on the Eramad lineage and even artwork for the Gods & Moon Warriors has been a great inclusion, alongside the backstories. It\u2019s well worth picking up this compiled volume if you are indeed a massive Battlecats fan.

As Valadar\u2019s forces take over the capitol, reigning chaos and barbaric violence against its citizens. There are few left to fight against them, even the mighty leader of the Battlecats - Kelthan has lost his nerve.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The remaining members of the Battlecats are on a mission to recover the body of their fallen King at the request of Queen Adastril. Who has taken refuge in Vikal Crest with a resistance group. All the while, Valadar is still unsatisfied with the outcome of his battle against King Eramad III and still seeks vengeance. Whilst another power battle is still in play between Myrthalen and her father Natharien.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n We are now in the final arc of the Battlecats story, as this third and final volume begins. I\u2019m sad to see this series come to an end, but it has been a great journey thus far. I\u2019m excited to see where exactly this goes for all characters involved before we get to that final panel. This series has had many a character origin story, battle scenes, trials and tragedies. From political battles to fighting for survival in a coliseum - just to prove your loyalty. The world of Valderia is immense, most of which is inhabited by feline humanoids who follow the will of the Lion God and the late King Eramad dynasty. Then there are few who prefer to go back to the dark days of the past, where animal instinct and barbaric personas was all that was important. It only took a single death of a loved one and a single feline warrior seeking revenge - for these two polar opposite worlds to collide. The result of this is what this final arc will be covering - beginning with the aftermath of King Eramads demise and the new rule of Valadar.<\/span><\/p>\n Our beloved hero and leader of the Battlecats - Kelthan has taken such a fall from grace that he is still reeling from his King's death. Now stumbling about the streets with a bottle of mead, picking petty fights that he can no longer win in his state of mind. Ultimately offering up his life, just for this nightmarish hell to end. It\u2019s his fellow Battlecats that still fight on, although there are now new tensions in the group. They are still strong, capable and have a stand-in leader, who will hopefully keep them alive long enough to make a difference in this rebellion.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other side of this fight, Valadar still struggles with the loss of his partner from many years ago. Her skull both haunts him and brings him some form of solace. However its not enough to mask the pain he wishes to rid, even after taking down the beloved ruler of this land. Even after getting his vengeance and now sitting in the seat of power. Valadar is still lost, and its the sinister Myrthalen who will use that to her full advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n With each new issue the artwork and story has been reaching new heights. With a heavy plot the last number of issues, this latest one finds the characters still reeling from recent events. It\u2019s ultimately Kelthan that is going to have to shape up pretty fast and get his head in order if he wants to renew his pledge to his homeland and fallen King. Valderia is in upheaval, its citizens need saving and the Battlecats may need him once again.<\/span><\/p>\n Battlecats Vol. 3 #1 is released on July 07, 2021 and can be purchased at www.madcavestudios.com<\/a>, Comixology, Drive-thru comics or your local comic book shop.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span><\/p>\n\n","post_title":"Battlecats Vol. 3 #1 Review","post_excerpt":"The Battlecats are on a mission","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"battlecats-vol-3-1-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-08 02:41:15","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 01:41:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206526","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205664,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2020-11-19 20:54:26","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-19 20:54:26","post_content":"Written By: <\/strong>Mark London<\/span>\n\nIllustrated By:<\/strong> Alejandro Giraldo<\/span>\n\nLettering By: <\/strong>Miguel Angel Zapata<\/span>\n\nCover by: <\/strong>Alejandro Giraldo<\/span>\n\nPublished By: <\/strong>Mad Cave Studios<\/span>\n\nThe Wolvenheart Organisation has been protecting the realms of man for quite some time, from the numerous and vicious attacks by those that have escaped the Hell Fires. From demons to werewolves, and even Dracula himself. This story follows monster hunter Sterling Cross as he steps through time in order to eradicate the hellish beasts. This time however, may be his final fight as he comes face to face with the Queen in Black.<\/span>\n\nThis volume includes the entire 7 issue series of Wolvenheart, a comic series that was full of excitement from start to finish. With a number of surprises thrown in, we get just a glimpse of what Sterling Cross' life was. With intriguing character backgrounds, which I wish were explored even further as I am still left with wanting to discover more. The initial plot was well executed and delivered in what I thought was a captivating final battle. That last panel though, has left fans screaming for an 8th issue at least!!<\/span>\n\n Years have passed since the orphan boy; Genshi arrived at the village. Taken in and trained by the Master Shinobi, the day has come for Genshi\u2019s final exam so he may join his masters ranks to protect the village. However just when the end was in sight, Genshi begins to experience some obscure dreams involving demons, beckoning him to allow them to take control. Genshi\u2019s life is about to change forever when the Tengu\u2019s powers end up taking hold of him!<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\r\n What a story and it is far from over! It has been some time since I\u2019ve read anything that was based in Feudal Japan and Shinobi\u2019s were commonplace. I adore reading stories like this, so this has been a real treat! From Page One, we are shown what the ending is to this Volume. From there the story begins as we discover what events led up to a young Shinobi fleeing up into the mountains to complete Seppuku. This story still holds a few mysteries at the end of this volume, so I am interested to see what Mark London has in store for us next.<\/span><\/p>\r\n Genshi as a young boy, was found wandering after days on end after the death of his parents by a group of bandits. Discovered by a Shinobi Master, he was brought back to the Iga Clans\u2019 village where he lived and trained under the guidance of Master Nishiro. Genshi has trained diligently for many years, but his eye has wondered to the beauty that is Lady Akemi. With a hidden teenage romance, nearing the end of his Shinobi training and his skills being noticed by those in power - Genshi has a bright future ahead in the village, as he begins to prove his worth. This all comes crashing down, as the dreams of his parents death return, he begins to be haunted day and night by a Tengu playing tricks on his mind. Genshi is no longer able to differentiate what is dream and what is reality, as the Tengu demonstrates his powers. It has become more than just an inside struggle, when Lord Iga\u2019s past suspicions begin to arise once more. There is a wide variety of characters in this story so far. From the enchanting Lady Akemi, the knowledgeable Master Nishiro to the now cursed Genshi. I would love to include more details on the baddies and the other Tengu cursed warrior, but I don\u2019t want to spoil all the fun!<\/span><\/p>\r\n Shinobis\u2019, most commonly known as Ninjas\u2019, were warriors that were highly skilled in espionage, deception and surprise attacks. Mostly used in reconacense missions, to carry out secret and delicate operations. Genshi and his fellow trainees have just come to the end of their Shinobi training and soon they will learn who the new Leader will be. In this collection we see many scenes filled with violence, competition, fighting for their survival and pure, unrestrained power. As well as the physical fights, we also see how Genshi is trying to fight internally, against what he thought were only bad dreams. The Iga Clan are also preparing for what could be a possible invasion in the coming weeks, as there have been rumors of raids happening in the nearby villages by the Koga clan. So with a clan feud imminent, this isn\u2019t a good time for all the focus to be on Genshi and his Tengu problem. As we begin to learn more about these evil spirits and the powers they possess, it will be interesting to see what way the story develops for both Genshi and his Clan. Also, what exactly happened to his older brother, on the night their parents were killed?<\/span><\/p>\r\n The artwork is exquisite and fits so well against the story. It also follows the same art style that I have seen in their Show\u2019s End <\/em>series, which I hope to be reviewing shortly. There are no cute drawings here, filled with ponies and cakes. This is some serious artwork, set to bring out the turbulent, dark times the story is set in. As well as feuding clans, we also have a forbidden love story, the introduction of demons and one orphans struggle to make a respectable life for himself, in a village where the Clan Leader completely mistrusts you. This is one story that is definitely aimed for the older teenage market.<\/span><\/p>\r\n You can buy Volume 1 now of Honor and Curse<\/em>, that houses all 6 issues from Mad Cave Studios<\/em> through the link below.

\n\nSterling Cross is no ordinary man, with a gypsie heritage and the blood of a vampire coursing through his veins, he often has to battle against his thirst for blood. Having learnt to feed the right beast, Cross has become one of the Organization's most prominent monster hunters. With the legend that is Van Helsing as his mentor, how could he not live up to their expectations.<\/span>\n\nFollowing the execution of Dracula, Van Helsing set up the Wolvenheart Organisation in order to have a team of hunters on hand to travel throughout time to erase the monsters that had escaped Hell itself during Dracula's rule. This series has many time jumping moments which could have been disastrous to follow, but was instead handled well in its deliverance making for a very enjoyable read through. From the origins of the organisation, to its downfall. With the ability of time jumping, it can only take one person to constantly rewrite history, thankfully we have Sterling Cross.<\/span>\n\n![\"wolvenheartvol1_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/wolvenheartvol1_2-670x1024.jpg\")
\n\nNow there were several main characters that played prominent roles in this book, as well as Cross' upbringing. Although we don't know much about Sterling's parentage, we do see the strong ties he holds to the gypsies he was raised by. This comic also breaks the stereotypical boundaries, as Helsing himself, originally a monk, joined forces with two other societies in order to bring down Dracula. Three ethnic groups that despise one another, managed to put differences aside all for the greater good. I just wish more information was given in regards to not only Cross' parents, but also Sabinas\u2019.<\/span>\n\nOnce again Mad Cave Studios have produced another remarkable series, with Mark London handling the script. The very same man who is also responsible for bringing the story of Battlecats to life. Alongside fellow Battlecat illustrator Alejandro Giraldo, who handled all the artwork for Wolvenheart. The art style and story for this series is obviously aimed at the Teen+ market, for it's dark themes and horror moments. It's a great read for a standalone series and I would highly recommend it if you have never checked out the studio before.<\/span>\n\nhttps:\/\/madcavestudios.com\/product\/wolvenheart-vol-1-legendary-slayer\/<\/u><\/span>\n\nOverall: <\/strong>8\/10<\/b><\/span>","post_title":"Wolvenheart Vol. 1: Legendary Slayer Review","post_excerpt":"Collects issues #1-7","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"wolvenheart-vol-1-legendary-slayer-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-08 19:07:02","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 18:07:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205664","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204877,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2020-05-06 13:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-06 13:47:41","post_content":"Written By: <\/strong>Mark London<\/span>\r\n\r\nPencils, Inks & Covers: <\/strong>Nicolas Salamanca<\/span>\r\n\r\nColors & Covers:<\/strong> Tekino<\/span>\r\n\r\nBook & Logo Design, Lettering By: <\/strong>Miguel Angel Zapata<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublished By:<\/strong> Mad Cave Studios<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease Date: <\/strong>Out Now<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n![\"honorandcursevol1_1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/honorandcursevol1_1-670x1024.jpg\")

From Mark London, Michael Camelo, and Tekino.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMichael Camelo said:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cAfter working on the first two volumes, volume three is a totally different beast. We are bringing years of work to a close, so expect the unimaginable.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nTekino added:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe most impressive part of volume three is exploring new regions of Valderia. Choosing how to differentiate each of those regions through color and giving the Battlecats a scruffy, \u201con the run\u201d appearance is really exciting.\u201d <\/span>\r\n\r\nBattecats Vol. 3 #1 will hit store shelves in the fall of 2020<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo get caught up on all previous volumes of Mad Cave stories, follow this link to their <\/span><\/strong>online store <\/a>or this link to find your <\/span><\/strong>local comic shop<\/a> and request the trade paperback editions.<\/span><\/strong>\r\n ","post_title":"Mad Cave Studios Announces The Return Of Three Series","post_excerpt":"Their most ambitious titles are returning this year","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"mad-cave-studios-announces-the-return-of-three-series","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-02-20 12:29:38","post_modified_gmt":"2020-02-20 12:29:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204630","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204554,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2020-01-29 13:11:37","post_date_gmt":"2020-01-29 13:11:37","post_content":"Created & Written By:<\/strong> Mark London<\/span>\r\n\r\nArtist:<\/strong> Robert Stotz<\/span>\r\n\r\nColorist:<\/strong> Jonathan Prada<\/span>\r\n\r\nCover Artist:<\/strong> Michael Camelo<\/span>\r\n\r\nCover Colorist:<\/strong> Tekino<\/span>\r\n\r\nBook Design & Lettering By:<\/strong> Miguel Angel Zapata<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublished By:<\/strong> Mad Cave Studios<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease Date:<\/strong> 5th February 2020<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI have been covering the Battlecats comics now for the past two volumes, following their characters and seeing how the story evolves over time as Valderia & its people face a new turbulent time as a violent uprising takes it\u2019s grips on the realm. The team behind Mad Cave Studios have been working tirelessly for years to develop the story, having not only just written a plot but created an entire civilisation & a vast history behind it\u2019s foundations. Now Mark London, along with his creative team, have developed a short four issue mini series that will shine some light on the generations of Lionborne in the Eramad lineage as well as other notable figures that held the title of Battlecats.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"BattlecatsToV1_8\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BattlecatsToV1_8.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nFirst off we look back on a time when Eramad I reigned and was beginning to unite Valderia, all the while sending his most trusted warrior to battle against the Skeleton Lord. We witness a King that looks back on his decisions with regret, after the loss of a dear friend. Beside him to carry out his orders and to seek council from is Natharien. The same old hound that served the two Kings that followed Eramad I. This issue looks back just for a brief moment on the first Lionborne, as we get a glimpse of what sort of a feline he was. We are later shown a fierce battle that was fought against the Skeleton Lord. Mad Cave Studios has also included a character description of all three of the Eramad Kings, as written by Natharien.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"BattlectasTov1_10\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/BattlectasTov1_10.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThe next three issue cover arts also feature at the end of this issue and they give us a glimpse into what we can expect from them. Issue 1 will be released on the 5th of February, with a new issue following every month until this four part series is complete. I am delighted the team over at Mad Cave have developed this side series, as we all patiently await Volume 3 of the main story. This can also be a good starting point for those that haven\u2019t read Volumes 1 & 2 of the Battlecats saga, but I feel this would be more appreciated by existing fans who already have some idea about the characters. Either way it\u2019s a good filler point before Volume 3 comes out. It will be interesting to see what Issue 2 will have in store.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf you would like to pre-order your copy today, then check out the link below that will take you straight to the Mad Cave website!<\/span>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/madcavestudios.com\/product\/battlecats-tales-of-valderia-1<\/a>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Battlecats: Tales of Valderia #1 Review","post_excerpt":"The first in a series of anthology","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"battlecats-tales-of-valderia-1-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-01-29 13:11:37","post_modified_gmt":"2020-01-29 13:11:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204554","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204472,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2019-12-13 13:01:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-12-13 13:01:14","post_content":"Written By:<\/strong> Mark London<\/span>\r\n\r\nPenciller:<\/strong> Michael Camelo<\/span>\r\n\r\nLettering By:<\/strong> Miguel Angel Zapata<\/span>\r\n\r\nColorist:<\/strong> Tekino<\/span>\r\n\r\n
