Outlaw Entertainment has launched their new line of comics with an impressive debut. Praetorian is a top-notch production in every aspect. Its beautiful production values and artwork make an immediate impact, and when you read it you find the story lives up to the package it comes in. It's a religious crime story reminiscent of The Da Vinci Code. The Praetorian Guard are immortals from the time of Christ's crucifixion, tasked with protecting mankind. They join with FBI agent Kasandra Rodriguez, who bares a striking resemblance to Jennifer Connelly, in pursuit of an elusive serial killer who decapitates his victims.
The story is fast-paced, exciting, and beautifully drawn. The bonus features include a page of Espinoza's character development sketches and a seven-page feature that takes a page from rough pencil sketch to final full-color finished digital artwork.
Check out Outlaw's website for their other titles and for the video preview of Praetorian.
