Bloodborne #1

Review by Paul Bowler

Get ready to delve into the dark world of Yharnam once more in Bloodborne #1: The Death of Sleep, from Titan Comics, written by Ales Kot (Generation Gone, Zero), with art by Piotr Kowalski (Wolfenstein, Dark Souls).

A nameless Hunter awakens in a foreboding, ancient, city, a place gripped by a horrifying epidemic. Here, terrifying monsters are waiting to strike at every turn and the streets are awash with blood. Into this nightmare the Hunter seeks a way to escape the seemingly endless Night of the Hunt that has damned Yharnam There is only one hope left and the Hunter must set out on a gruesome, blood-soaked quest to bring this nightmare to an end once and for all…

Based on the best selling videogame world of Bloodborne and its expansion DLC content The Old Hunters, Bloodborne #1: The Death of Sleep will mark a welcome return to Yharnam for fans of the gory, tough-as-nails game. Indeed, writer Ales Kot ensures this first issue includes all the familiar Bloodborne tropes – and then some! From the lone Hunters introduction to his initial encounters with the beastly horrors stalking Yharnam’s shadows, Kot quickly sets the scene. One particular narrative thread – the pale blood – is a mystery that was never really fully explained in videogame itself, and as such it provides a rich vein of drama for Kot to tap and facilitate key plot developments in the issue.

Piotr Kowalski’s artwork brings every visceral, blood-drenched moment of Kot’s intense script to life while the gorgeous colors by Brad Simpson adds vivid clarity to the flesh-rending carnage. If you’ve played the game, you’ll know how hideous and grotesque the monsters in Bloodborne are, and Kowalski’s art impressively recreates the distinctive look and feel of these monstrous creatures. As you’d expect, the action is slick and brutal too, and like the games unforgiving nature that all-too familiar “You Died” moment is something that surprisingly feels almost serene here – rather than the almost throwing the controller across the room rage that the Bloodborne game often made you feel when your Hunter met a grisly end.

While obviously aimed at fans of the Bloodborne game, there’s plenty of mystery and terror for horror fans to enjoy as well without any prior knowledge of the game. Boasting a striking cover by Jeff Stokley, along with a choice of three variant covers, the strong story and impressive art in Bloodborne #1 gets this new Titan Comics book off to a great start and I’m eager to see where the Hunter’s quest takes him next.

Publisher: Titan Comics.

Writer: Ales Kot / Art: Piotr Kowalski.

Colors: Brad Simpson / Lettering: Aditya Bidikar

Cover: A Jeff Stokley, Cover B: Game Cover, Cover C: Potr Kowalski & Brad Simpson, Cover D: Andre Lima Arujo & Chris O’Halloran.

Sci-Fi Jubilee My New You Tube Channel: Starting Uncharted 4 A Thief’s End

Hi, and thank you everyone for checking out my new YouTube channel Paul Bowler YouTube since it started. I’ve been a bit busy recently, so I haven’t had as much time to play PS4 games for a week or so. But, I’m getting back into Dark Souls 3 again now, and I’ve also been playing Uncharted 4 A Thief’s End. I’m a big fan of the Uncharted game series, Uncharted 4 is awesome, I’m really enjoying it, and the game looks stunning! So my new video features some gameplay footage from Uncharted 4, Chapters 2 & 3, I thought this was a really exciting early part of the game and I love the opening titles! There are some spoilers concerning the storyline in the video, so please don’t watch it if you haven’t played the game yet. I was pleased with how this particularly video turned out, I hope you enjoy it too, and please feel free to hit that like button and subscribe if you do.

Advice, Editing, and Defeating Ludwig the Accused

Well, first off I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone for supporting my new YouTube channel Paul Bowler YouTube My last video was my first attempt at editing clips from my initial run through Bloodborn The Old Hunters. Many of you got in touch with me afterwards with lots of helpful advice, encouragement, and suggestions. Cheers everyone! With your help I’ve been getting to grips a bit more with editing stuff now, had some good recommendations on choosing a headset, and I want to have a go at maybe streaming gameplay next. I’ve also just started playing Dark Souls 3, its a brilliant game, and my latest video is a great boss fight from Dark Souls 3 defeating Vordit of the Boreal Valley! Love the music in these boss battles, they make the game feel so epic and exciting! Looking forward to starting Uncharted 4 A Thief’s End next! Hope you enjoy the video, and please feel free to like, share, comment, and subscribe if you do.

Bloodborne, The Old Hunters, & My First Attempt At Editing

As I’ve been playing a lot of Bloodborne lately I thought I’d get The Old Hunters DLC as well. So, since I started my YouTube channel Paul Bowler YouTube I thought it’d also be a good opportunity to use my initial run though The Old Hunters to make a new video, and have a go at editing it. I’ve never tried anything like this before, so its a bit rough around the edges, but I enjoyed having a go at editing for the first time. Well, here is the result! Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to like and subscribe if you do.
