Deep within the bowels of the Dungeon, paradise bred. It was a
place where the rejected were welcomed, safe, isolated, yet highly exclusive.
If there were a place where sin could live in heaven, it would be called Castle
Deyshaud. Possessed by an evil supernatural entity, protected by a fascist
security force of werewolves known as the Ookami, the structure whose walls
granted men the most amazing talents, gifts and abilities to anyone inside
could make the weakest man strong, the fattest man fit, and change the most
hideous to the most desired. That was until the impossible happened. One dark
soul mastered the magic of the Dungeon against its most powerful warriors and
killed them while masquerading as one of their own. In the ultimate plan of
domination, one being would gain control of the Dungeon’s power in an attempt
to become a god and rule hell on Earth with help from an ever-growing zombie
militia.
Now the most unlikely trio must find the killer…before their
world goes to hell.
Get laced.
Get bit.
Get Enraged.
Get Control.
Get Religion.
Get Power.
Get whipped...
Prepare as all genres are crossed as the most unlikely trio
fight dragons, vampires, werewolves, elves, and zombies, because It hurts to
feel good in "The Dungeon".
The Good
This is certainly interesting in the way it manages to blend
together fantasy, sci-fi and more into one book. I can imagine it must be tough to try to work
with multiple genres, but The Dungeon pulls it off. I’m always up for something out of the norm
so to speak and that is definitely what you’ll expect to get.
The Bad
I admittedly had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what was
going on with the story on the first read through. After I skimmed over it again, I managed to
piece it together better. This was just
the first issue though, so I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt.
The Summary
It’s a very unique combination of different genres, so it
should appeal to a wide variety of readers.
From what I’ve read so far, it has promise in the issues to come. There is plenty of room for more character
build up and story development and I’d like to see where it goes.
