John Dolmayan's 'Dead Samurai' Issue 1... Mini Review!

What do you get when you combine System of a Down's Drummer, John Dolmayan with his love for comic books? You get, 'Dead Samurai', featuring cover art by Bill Sienkiewicz (Elektra: Assassin, New Mutants, and Moon Knight), illustrated by Ryan Benjamin (Star Wars, Iron Man, Batman, Wonder Woman)!

John Dolmayan's 'Dead Samurai' Issue 1 is a promising start to the series, set in 16th century feudal Japan. The story follows Shinzo, a loyal Samurai serving Lord Kawamaki, who faces an unexpected challenge in the form of flesh-eating zombies! The narrative takes a surprising turn to some extent, giving Shinzo a new purpose and introducing characters like an unidentified monk and Akii, Lord Kawamaki's daughter.

The comic art is commendable, which makes me wonder how it will look in full color since we received it prior to the official release. The story, cover art, and pacing are executed well, earning the comic a rating of 5 out of 5 cool points in my book. Priced at $5.99, the comic offers good value, and I have no doubt the full colored release will be welcomed by general comic book lovers and new fans.

Overall, 'Dead Samurai' Issue 1 is a solid entry that leaves me eager for more. It's not just a blood bath, and I hope they flesh out more of the substance in the issues to come. I don't know if Shinzo has to face the dead samurai on the cover or if he will become the dead samurai on the cover. I guess we'll find out later.

Embrace the Spooky Thrills of “Dead Season” This October!

As the leaves turn golden and the lights grow longer, gamers everywhere are gearing up for the spookiest season of the year. October delivers the spooky fun games that some gamers look forward to year after year. Dead Season is set to deliver chills and thrills, making it the perfect addition to your Halloween gaming lineup. Your mission is to guide a group of survivors to safety while upgrading their skills as they fight their way through hordes of zombies that react to every sound. Can you escape the grip of the outbreak?

Dead Season is a survival horror game that plunges players into a post-apocalyptical world packed with zombies and eerie environments. Developed by Snailbite, Dead Season pulls you in with detailed visuals, a spooky storyline, and heart-pounding gameplay.

October is obviously synonymous with all things spooky, making it the ideal month for developers to release horror-themed games like “Dead Season.” Here’s why we appreciate publishers timing their releases for this season:

1. Atmospheric Alignment: The eerie ambiance of October, with its dark evenings and Halloween festivities, perfectly complements the chilling atmosphere of horror games. Playing “Dead Season” during this time enhances the overall experience.

2. Seasonal Excitement: Gamers are more drawn to horror content in October, seeking out experiences that match the spooky spirit of the season. This includes some gamers who don't normally prefer to play horror-based games.

3. Community Engagement: October is a time when some gaming communities come together to celebrate horror games. From streaming marathons to themed events, the release of games like Dead Season during this month allow for shared excitement and fun fright among players & their audience.
   
   Here's a "How To" on linking your Amazon to Twitch Accounts.

4. Marketing Synergy: The Halloween season provides ample opportunities for creative marketing campaigns that just feel out of place during other times of the year (unless they fall on Friday the 13th). From spooky trailers to themed merchandise, publishers can leverage the Halloween hype to generate buzz and drive sales because it just makes sense.

Dead Season is set to be a standout title this October for fans of turn-based strategy games, offering gamers a chilling escape into a world of horror and survival to get the survivors to safety. Most horror games aren't normally served up in a turn-based strategy game, so it adds another audience to the mix. So, gear up, turn off the lights, and get ready to face the undead in Dead Season!

 Dead Season is rated M for Mature (Ages 17+)!
