Fire, Air, Wood, Gold and Earth. A oneshot action pack graphic novel by Kash. The setting of this story is in the future where the hunt for power is at it's peak. A power hungry Major, Theo, striving to be the most powerful man in the world evoking an unfinished battle 500 years ago with the main character, Noel. To know more, just read the book.
Full of combats and tragedy, this graphic novel will capture a few of the reader's attention.
A great try by Kash for this comic. The storyline for this is common yet Kash managed to breathe a new life into it. The stroke for this comic is simple and clean therefore readers will not have any problem getting drawn to it. That is basically all the good stuff about this graphic novel.
One of the main problems i had with this comic is that the character development is bad. Especially for the a few of the main characters because it was introduced quite late in the book. Even though with the clean strokes, the fighting scene is very messy and too quick, cutting the realism of this graphic novel. The final battle is disappointing as there is too little action causing the climax to drop very fast. Basically, the speed of the comic is too fast. Maybe Kash should had made it into a twoshot instead of one.
A lot of the panelling for this comic is confusing as it wasn't arrange nicely but it is bearable. Readers may not appreaciate the graphic effect of this comic as it is too simple and looked like it is done by an amateur. If the illustrator would had spent more time on the effects, it might made this comic looked better. Again, with the simple effect, there is no life in the comic.
In the end, this is just a fun read. Maybe people can just get it from a friend instead of taking this as a collector's item. This is where readers will just read it once instead reading it again and again. It lacks almost everything an action or even comic fan would want to see. Not one of my favourite comic. i'll give this a pass.
Pros: Clean stroke, presented differently.
Cons: Very unrealistic, bad panelling, terrible effects, too fast of a storyline, unbalanced characters development.
Rating: 4/10
