I enjoyed this more than I thought I would
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! I loved that the MC was a WOC!!! She stood up for what she believed in, even I could gather that in such a few pages. I think it was a little quick for me though, I couldn't imagine finding out that I had Assassins blood in me and just jump at the opportunity to join the Brotherhood without asking questions... And jumping out of windows. Like how convenient she was in shape enough to do that! Lol, I'm kidding!!This was my second graphic novel so I'm still getting used to how to read them but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Char was pretty funny at times, and I loved her little snide comments. Plus you can tell her heart is pure. Galina was a bit annoying. Whether she was right or not, she needed to relax a bit. Might have a bit of a crush on Kody. He thinks in rambles but he seems true. Hope to see more of him in Volume 2!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Fresh Induction into the Secret World of Assassins and Templars
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    "Trial by Fire" introduces readers to Charlotte de la Cruz, an ordinary woman unexpectedly pulled into the centuries-old conflict between Assassins and Templars. Set in the thrilling universe of the popular video game series, this graphic novel weaves together sci-fi adventure, historical intrigue, and character-driven storytelling.

    Creative Team:
    - Writers: Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery
    - Their adaptation seamlessly integrates new characters like Charlotte while staying true to the franchise's core themes.
    - The reluctant journey of our protagonist is skillfully portrayed, making her relatable and engaging.

    - Artwork and Pencils: Neil Edwards
    - Edwards's detailed illustrations immerse readers in shadowy realms, from modern urban landscapes to historical flashbacks.
    - His visual storytelling enhances the overall experience, capturing action and emotion.

    - Colorist: Ivan Nunes
    - The moody color palette sets the tone for each scene, whether it's present-day intrigue or the Salem witch trials.
    - The contrast between eras adds depth to the narrative.

    Character Development:
    - Charlotte de la Cruz: Reluctant yet determined, Charlotte steps up when people need her. Her growth from an ordinary person to a crucial player in the Assassin Brotherhood is compelling.
    - Assassins Trio: Each member brings unique skills and motivations. Their banter, loyalty, and vulnerabilities make them three-dimensional.
    - Joseph: The enigmatic assassin who may be a traitor adds layers of suspense.

    Overall Impression:
    "Trial by Fire" successfully adapts the game's premise, offering fans and newcomers an exciting origin tale. Whether you're a gamer or a graphic novel enthusiast, this book delivers an immersive experience.

    *Recommended for: Fans of Assassin's Creed, historical intrigue, and character-driven stories.

    I’ve played a little bit of one or two of these games so I was intrigued to come across these comics. While not completely grabbing me, I found it interesting enough to finish and deserving a a 3 star rating. I liked that the first place we started with a look into the past was Salem. All the characters were interesting though I’m still not sure how I feel about the main character, Charlotte, at the moment. I don’t dislike her, but I don’t necessarily like her either. Perhaps if I decide to read more that’ll change. The art style was good though not my favorite, but that was just for certain areas. That could improve as well. Anyways, it was definitely a fun read at least. My favorite part was that they included the actual historical account of what happened at Salem during and following the witch trials.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A new hero for a long running series
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2016

    First of all this isn't based on any existing characters from the video games. But things and people like Abstergo and "Daniel" are mentioned so there's a bit of continuity with the games. This particular trade features the first 5 issues of this particular series. Main star is a Charlotte De La Cruz, a young woman trying to make ends met, works at the same bank her student loans are held and trying to get a better position in life. Her ancestor was an Assassin (the good guys in this situation for those unfamiliar with the lore) during the Salem Witch trials. She's tasked to go through her genetic memories (Going to try to explain as best I can here, Assassins and Templars, the bad guys, can use a machine called an Animus to let the user look and play for a lack of a better term trough an ancestor's life for brief periods) to track down an artifact during that period. Of course there's more to this story but I'm trying to keep things brief for the summery.

    Charlotte, or Char, is a pretty interesting character, has a good sense of right and wrong, evn though she latter realizes her attempt at a "Robin Hood moment was a huge mistake,she has a small gift that makes her useful to the Assassins and Templars. The rest of the main charactrers, maybe not so much. Their's Xavier, the leader of this particular cell who's a little too single minded and more than willing to pull the "I'm in charge" card, Galina a female assassin who's a bit of a hot head and hasthis habit of calling Char 'girl" and Kody resident tech guy who seems decent so far. Then there's Char's ancestor Tom Stoddard who can be way colder than Char expects.

    The story itself is good. It explains things for those unfamiliar with the concepts, probably better than I can or tried too. The modern stuff is there and the Witch Trials is a cool back drop for the past segments. And since that's one of the things we'll probably never see in the games it's good they're using other media like the comics to explore thing. even if it's for a brief moment. Doing a little research I discover this is the only arc we see the Trials. And while there Del Col put in some interesting twists.

    So if you're a fan of the game series or looking for something not super hero related I'd say check it out.

    Als erstes muss ich sagen, ich bin nicht der aller größte Comic Fan, aber als Assassin's Creed Fan habe ich mir dies Comic Buch bestellt. Ich bin sehr begeistert von den Illustrationen, genauso ist die Geschichte fantastisch. Ich konnte das Buch nicht beiseite legen, es lässt sich sehr gut und flüssig lesen. In diesem Vol 1 gibt es die ersten 5 Comics zusammen als 1 Buch zusammengefasst. Ich kann es nur sehr empfehlen als Fan von Assassin's Creed die Comics zu lesen, da diese im selben Universum wie die Videospiele stattfinden. Auf jeden Fall werde ich weiter die Comics von Titan Comics verfolgen. Es gibt mehrere unterschiedliche Geschichten von Titan Comics (welche in Zusammenarbeit mit Ubisoft erscheinen), welche bald auch als Volume veröffentlicht werden.

    Aunque la protagonista parece adaptarse demasiado rápido al mundo de Abstergo y los Assassin's al punto de ser incoherente, la historia que sucede dentro del animus es maravillosa, con buenos dibujos y (aunque a veces un poco ridículos) diálogos que asoman la humanidad de los personajes. No puedo esperar a conseguir la segunda parte.
