Reviewer Notes
‘Helen of Wyndhorn’ by Dark Horse Comics is hands down the best comic book series of 2024. With strong competition from the likes of Titan Comics ‘Conan the Barbarian’ reboot, that is saying something. This series has everything. Great writing. Great artwork. The best part is the hook. When readers can imagine a doorway to another world just waiting for them to discover it, you cannot lose!
As a fan of the author Terry Brooks, Helen of Wyndhorn brings back wonderful memories of the days I spent reading the ‘Magic Kingdom For Sale. Sold!’ series of novels. Ben Holiday, Abernathy, Questor Thews, were the heroes of their pocket dimension. Those were the days. Now Helen Cole and her Grandfather have taken up the multidimensional standard and marched us into their own fantasy kingdom.
What else can be said for this nugget of excellence? I know! This issue gets five stars all around. Go get the series today!
