Reviews / Votes
"Such a fun adaptation of the video game...Mann and House absolutely nail the mood!" - CBR"Perfectly captures the vibe of the games, while hooking readers with an intriguing mystery that promises twists and turns to come..a fully immersive, innovative expansion of the lore of the game." - Screen Rant
"Dark Souls: Mother of Mourning captures that rare mix of myth and misery - a bleak, brooding epic brought to life through art that evokes Jae Lee's Dark Tower at its finest." - David Brooke (AIPT)
"In Dark Souls: Mother of Mourning, George Mann and Maan House have brought fans of the video game series all of the decaying grandeur and dark fantasy adventure that they could ever hope for - and what an adventure it is!" - Vince Pavey (Hologram Ghost)
"A haunting, oppressive quest saga that will be equally enticing to fans of the DARK SOULS franchise and gothic horror in general. House's art plunges the reader into the shadows alongside the story's doomed knights."-Steve Foxe (Let This One Be a Devil, Dark X-Men)
"A brooding and atmospheric start to a new cycle of Flame and Dark. Feels at once familiar and new to fans of Dark Souls." - Grimdark Magazine
"A haunting call to adventure that immediately pulls you in. A must-read for fans of Dark Souls and horror fantasy tales." - Jonathan James (Editor-in-Chief, Daily Dead)
"Mother of Mourning offers another worthy addition to Dark Souls lore from Mann and House. At once beautiful and dreadful, every page drips with grim mystery." - Lonnie Nadler (Little Nightmares, The Sickness)
