Warlord

Hello people's. Today I'm doing a comic book review. Here it goes.

Recently we have completely stripped my old room so that Katie could move into it. While we were cleaning it out I found some of my old comic books. When I was smaller I read my entire Warlord essential. I still really like it and I asked my Dad if they made any more comics after what I already had. I remember hearing somewhere that they didn't so I wasn't to hopeful but he said yes and now I have more on my iPad.

So warlord is the story of Travis Morgan who was a pilot in the U.S. Airforce. He was on a mission taking photos of supposed Chemical warfare bases in Russia when a Russian plane shot his plane. His plane was going down straight over the north pole. Before he crashed he ejected with a parachute. To his surprise he found himself in a subterranean world! Skartaris.

Skartaris exists because at each pole the earth slowly curves inward on itself, Morgan did not recognize the curve because of how gradual it is. Inside is a world in eternal day because of the sun perpetually held at the center by Earth's gravity. Here Morgan finds creatures from the dawn of Earth, Dinosaurs living alongside modern creatures. Skartaris was once inhabited by the great wizard kings so there are magical creatures and wizards. The civilization of Atlantis once ventured here and the land knew great technological advances before they destroyed each other by war. Now it is inhabited by men and women living in the dark ages of sword and sorcery completely oblivious to the once great civilization.

I like Warlord a lot. It reminds me of Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs because both of the heroes live in a land of the sword in modern times and both of them are almost always on a quest to save there loved ones such as there sons or wives. Even though they face great challenges neither of them are ever really bested with the sword but the story is still great. Bye.
