The Outlands: Child of Wrath Comic Review

Not long ago I received an email from Patrick Hockey Jr. from Legacy Comix asking if I would be interested in checking out an upcoming one shot comic they had coming up. It is hopefully launching a new series and ties into a trilogy of books. They involve a group of misfits just trying to survive in a sort of world where there is really nothing but suffering and injustice,in one of the last cities on earth.

The Outlands:Child of Wrath is short, only 8 pages. But it gives you a glimpse into this world they are building. The city’s name is Dios,and it only has two rules. 1. Don’t stand up and 2. Don’t stand out. And you learn very quickly the punishment for breaking these rules is death.

Darius Karr dares to question someone called “The Patriarch” about why if they are blessed why do they suffer so much. This results in Darius being executed, and Vic swearing to avenge his father.

Where the story goes from here I do not know, but I am truly hoping to find out. The city of Dios is intriguing and the story does a great job of giving you just enough to get you interested, without giving away so much as to ruin the stories it is supposed to be connecting. So definitely follow the link below and check out their website. (Savior Gaming does NOT receive any compensation for purchases you make and are simply supplying the link as a courtesy to readers)

The Job #0 Review (Comic)

So I sat down to read The Job # 0 that the fine folks over at Legacy Comix sent me. You may remember they sent me The Job #1. This is a quick read first to check out first that I also enjoyed,and really explains more about how our favorite wrestler and his wife Bev operate as bank robbers. It is actually quite interesting and I won’t spoil it as it is a quick read. The art work however is magnificent. Feel free to check the link below and give it a look. (As always Savior Gaming does NOT get any sort of commission for any sales,we just provide the link for you if you are interested.)

The Job #1 (comic Review)

The job is a comic from Legacy Comix and is written by Patrick Hickey Jr, and the pencils,inks and colors were done by Steve Cange.

I was actually sent a copy of this (and another surprise coming up a little later that I can’t discuss) by Patrick Hickey Jr himself. Legacy Comix isn’t a company I was or even am familiar with, so I was excited to work with them and I am grateful they sent me The Job. Even more exciting for me was discovering the story is about a professional wrestler that is also a bank robber. Many of you long time fans of Savior Gaming may be aware that I actually am a former Professional Wrestler myself.

Delicious Dan Dero is a professional wrestler,and his wife Beverly Dero acts as both his manager in the ring,and getaway driver and partner in crime when it’s time to rob banks. Dan however uses the bank robbing to pay for his addiction to professional wrestling. (Most of us used jobs at warehouses or working security in bars but hey he beat the system)

On this particular night,Dan is working the champ Ramirez. What is supposed to be an 8 minute squash match for Dan to sell and make Ramirez look good turns into Ramirez being too drunk to really perform and Dan having to do most of the work and make Ramirez look good.

A small injury and a pissed off promo later because Ramirez is too drunk to stand and Dan suddenly seems to have taken his career from 0 to hero.

Meanwhile on the bank robbery front,it turns out Dan’s true talent is working with his wife Bev and robbing banks. The police are stumped as to how this bank was robbed in 45 seconds or so with every camera being out of service. But like Dan’s idol the heart break kid,he has one hell of a super kick.

This is my first experience with Legacy Comix, and I have to say the artwork was nice and the story was fantastic. I will admit that as a former worker and life long wrestling fan this was basically made for me to enjoy, but I know plenty of people like me would love this one as well. Check it out at the link below,and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
