Background
Published in July of 2014, Barbarian Lord is a graphic novel of fighter who goes on adventures for honor and revenge.
My Thoughts
My son had read it and said my daughter had said it was basically He-Man in graphic novel form. So I was bound to read it. It didn’t take long at all to finish and I can’t say I’m a better person to have done so.
Visually, my daughter is correct. It is basically He-Man complete with a Skeletor-ish villain. However, there were some very graphic scenes in it which certainly wouldn’t have slipped by the censors of the early 80’s.
The plot was pretty sparce but you can’t really expect too much. It is basically a action movie in book form. (Spoiler alert, Barbarian Lord wins in the end…)
Recommendation
If this gets your kids to read then it’s all good. If not, you don’t need to spend any time with it.
