This comic book introductory issue...  came from Bluewater Comics this past week.  Because I noticed it was based on the Lionsgate Film Series, which I have not seen, I thought I would read it before checking out what the films were about.   Which is a switch in reading / viewing habits for me!

The films, of which there are three, first started in 1989.  New World Pictures produced this HoRRoR film, which was distributed by Trimark Pictures.  A sequel was released in 1993 called Warlock: Armageddon.  The third film, Warlock III: The End of Innocence, was released in 1999. Since then there has been a video game released based on the franchise.

Not having seen the films, I wondered if I would be 'lost' while reading the comic book.  Well, I am pleased to report that that was NOT the case!

In this first issue, the Warlock is introduced as a being on a mission to destroy a 'book' that contains a spell which had already imprisoned six other Warlocks.

The premise of this first issue is... "If the book manages to be destroyed, the dangerous Warlocks would be released back into the world free to cause chaos and destruction. It's up to a rag-tag group of people to prevent the Warlock from carrying out his plan".

Well, I enjoyed this introductory issue, as it was well written by Nick Lyons!  The pencilling by Jacob Bear fit the story genre, and the colors by John Hunt complemented the whole issue.  Nice job on an introductory issue, setting up the issues to come!  Cover price to this first issue is $3.99.

BTW, Bluewater Comics is also the publisher of the 'Political Power' comic book series featuring special issues on Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, and more to follow!
