Staff Picks (August): Assassin's Creed #1
Jul 15, 2015
Whether you are working to thwart the plans of the evil Knight of Templar as Altair ibn-La'Ahad during the Third Crusade, uncovering unholy plots in Renaissance Italy and Constantinople as Ezio Auditore de Firenze, or fighting alongside George Washington to free the colonies from the spreading poison of the Templars during the American Revolution as Connor (or Ratonhnhaké:ton), Assassin's Creed is a game that literally transcends time and space and it is awesome! Mixing fact with fiction, the creative team behind the games, which now number over 10, have built an incredible universe and an incredible conspiracy theory that anyone can get on-board with.
All this being said, as a personal fan of the whole series, I can say without a doubt that I can't wait to read the new comic series coming out from Titan this fall. Following Charlotte de la Cruz and her assassin ancestor, Tom Stoddard, this time we are thrust into the world of the Salem Witch Trials. Colonial America, a Templar conspiracy, and an assassin and his modern-day ancestor counterpart working to uncover the truth before everything falls apart. What more could you want in a comic book?!
Assassin's Creed is by far one of my favorite games of all time and I am incredibly excited to get ahold of the new comic series coming out from Titan this October… and so will all of the other fans without a doubt!
