Brood Knight: Shattered Hate and Brood Knight: Shadow Nemesis is another, earlier comic series by kYuPoL that I have also enjoyed. It is a thrilling and dramatic fantasy comic with a brilliant plot. Something I believe that any bullied teenager can relate to. It’s come a long way, and I love feeling the emotion that was put into this series.
Personally, I prefer MAG-ISA versus Brood Knight, because Brood Knight is without a doubt more juvenile. Something I expect from a webcomic, but it is better than the majority of webcomics by a long run. For its plot that kept me hooked. So many scenes that make me wonder which way the plot will go and what happened to these characters in their past. Too bad I’ll never know…
The negatives I find about Brood Knight is that its art needed improving and that it is another comic that was left hanging. If I had read this first, I would have not carried on to the author’s present work MAG-ISA for the thought that would sneak into my mind that he was an author that left his work hanging. Shattered Hate is worth the read, but I’m sad to see Shadow Nemesis, Shattered Hate’s sequel was stopped in any case.
Nonetheless, I recommend it. It was a wonderful read, not only for its interesting plot, but to see how much the author had matured from Brood Knight to MAG-ISA. Read for yourself. See which one you like better.
MAG-ISA
There’s so much I could say about MAG-ISA. This comic series has most impressed me and I recommend you give it a read. I believe it is something any angst-filled and out-casted individual can relate to. I love it. Even the simplest summary such as, “A comic about a loner, an angel, and a cult that wants to build a New World Order”. Still got me interested. I admire the dedication of seeing a webcomic that is ongoing. Not just something that is shallow and left hanging by the second chapter.
Some say it is melodramatic, but I think it is pure genius. The passion just reeks from the pages and that’s what I like to see in a story; where you can feel the author’s own emotions shine through.
I also enjoy seeing how the art improves as it goes along. Seeing the author find that style and how he grows with his comic and characters. The anime/semi-realistic style the author has is really beautiful and unique. Both plot and illustration, from the beginning you can see the potential.
The only main negative I find is that I’d appreciate updates more frequent. Especially during fight scenes. Because an epic fight scene gets boring when you wait days only to see just a bad guy getting punched again. It makes a fast, epic fight feel like it’s going slow. Slow is boring, but on the other hand…
If you love to read something that is philosophical, political, spiritual, supernatural, dramatic, with a little humor and romance thrown in… This is the comic for you. The author kYuPoL balances it all amazingly well. No other webcomic, that I have read, has ever portrayed life as MAG-ISA has. To open your eyes to what the human condition really is with a nice fictional touch. I personally would like to see more comics like MAG-ISA, something that is profound such as this. For whoever hates this comic, I believe is out of touch with reality and all the more proves… We need more comics such as this.
