Staff Picks (December): Wraithborn #1
Nov 18, 2015
Throughout history, we have been guarded by a brotherhood of warriors. Unbeknownst to mankind, their sole purpose on this Earth is to protect humanity from demonic entities that possess human hosts. Using an arcane power to fight the beasts, the brotherhood passes their gifts from generation to generation, so that we may sleep safe at night without ever knowing that the world is in danger.
Hot on the heels of the bombastic return of Lady Mechanika, Benitez Productions rolls out another grandiose tale with the return of Wraithborn #1. Originally published through Wildstorm, Joe Benitez and crew revamped the entire series for an all-new experience.
Developed by Marcia Chen and Joe Benitez, Wraithborn follows Melanie Moore from Marinette, Louisiana, a reserved high schooler struggling to take care of her father. Things don’t go Melanie’s way, especially once she is given an all-powerful burden that she didn’t want nor earn. The power of Wraithborn is given to only the sturdiest and most powerful warriors, so why is she chosen as the successor?
Joe Benitez brings the level of artistic talent to the page that you would expect from one of the industry’s greats. Benitez’s amazing character design is on full display, as the world is fleshed out with horrifying creatures and empowering heroes. Complimented by inks from Joe Weems & Ryan Winn, colors from Studio F, and background pencils from Martin Montiel and Mun Kao Tan, Wraithborn #1 is a complete package of comic book ingenuity.
