Review
Movies and books have always had a small difference between them and games are no exception. Plenty of people have played the game, but when the game “Assassins Creed” entered comic book form, many were able to see the differences added. While being short in story line, one that was easy to follow, it was made up very much by the new details added and the artistic effort put into it.

This story answered questions on how Desmond was first captured, as well as introducing characters that were never revealed in its game counterpart; one character being from Desmond's genetic pool. At one point there is even a new character shown to have once been part of the Templar’s experiments, an experiment that attempted to gain access to past lives of another assassin's genetic line.

Now what really catches the reader's attention will be the artwork. They paid nothing less but the best to make the artwork look like it was from the game. Everything is very detailed, which only adds more to the rating, and with all this combined, I can only say that this was 100% excellent.

This is a must read for any gamer and for all AC fans out there.
