When a mysterious book appears in the library of a young monk named Zeek, he must embark on a quest to find its rightful owner. Unbeknownst to him, another dark figure has been searching for this very book for a very long time, sending his minions across the known planets and using dark magic to find it at all costs. When this evil figure realizes the manuscript has finally resurfaced, it sets events in motion that will send Zeek on an adventure unlike anything he could have ever imagined–leading Zeek to discover his true identity and destiny.
Sunder vol. 1: Small Beginnings by Pierre-Alexandre Comtois, Mark Englert and Buddy Beaudoin will be published on May 6, 2025. Mad Cave Studios provided an early galley for review.
What attracted me to this title was the cover; it has a very mid-80's independent vibe to it that made me very nostalgic.
This coming of age tale, with its cast of colorful characters, strikes the right balance of adventure and charm. The artwork is in a rich, animated style (no surprise given Comtois' resume) with colors that perfectly compliment the moods of every scene.
As this first volume ends, the story has just begun. I look forward to reading more of Sunder.
