A Hunter wanders the city of Yharnam， told repeatedly that Hunters must hunts。 But what if they have another cause to fight for？ What if there's something else that the Hunter can do to escape the nightmare？ The answers lie far beyond Yharnam's walls， away from the Hunter's Dream， in an old fishing village。 All the Hunter has to do。。。is get there。To say I enjoyed this would be an understatement。 These four issues are superbly done。 The atmosphere that Kot creates feels distinctly Yharnam， and we A Hunter wanders the city of Yharnam， told repeatedly that Hunters must hunts。 But what if they have another cause to fight for？ What if there's something else that the Hunter can do to escape the nightmare？ The answers lie far beyond Yharnam's walls， away from the Hunter's Dream， in an old fishing village。 All the Hunter has to do。。。is get there。To say I enjoyed this would be an understatement。 These four issues are superbly done。 The atmosphere that Kot creates feels distinctly Yharnam， and weaves in and out of the Bloodborne narrative while giving us a new protagonist with their own mission to complete。 It's only once the volume begins to wind down and answers are unveiled that you can see what these issues really are in relation to the video game - （view spoiler）[ a prequel （hide spoiler）]。 I'm not even sure if that's a spoiler， but it was such a revelation when I realised it that I want to preserve that for everyone else that might not know。The artwork can't be faulted either。 The colouring's sometimes a little heavy in the early issues when everything's on fire， but otherwise it's visceral， creepy as hell， and actually made me jump。 There's a moment in the final issue where you can feel the dread building， and yet you'd never be prepared for what's on the opposite page - I'm glad the trade preserves the page flip rather than having it on the right hand side。 Piotr Kowalski weaves in many recognisable enemies from the game including a boss or two， and they're all instantly obvious as to what they're meant to be。 His artwork and Kot's plot together really build off one another to make something brilliant。If you've played Bloodborne and it's Old Hunters DLC， then I'd highly recommend this first volume of the comic。 I think each subsequent volume is a different story focusing on different characters， so we'll see if it manages to keep up the quality going forward， but since the creative team is the same I definitely have high hopes。 。。。more

Does the nightmare ever end？ The art and the atmosphere of the story are amazing。 The story itself， I feel could have been more fleshed out。 Overall， pretty good。"And remember， my dear hunter: The night is long， but the morning always comes。" Does the nightmare ever end？ The art and the atmosphere of the story are amazing。 The story itself， I feel could have been more fleshed out。 Overall， pretty good。"And remember， my dear hunter: The night is long， but the morning always comes。" 。。。more

Letta la versione italiana。Disegni spettacolari che rendono molto le atmosfere del videogame。Purtroppo la controparte videoludica non mi piaceva molto， per cui non l'ho terminato e molti particolari me li sono un po' persa。 Il primo volume riprende alcune delle vicende， senza però attraversare tutta la trama。 Una lettura da associare al gioco， sconsigliata se si è completamente digiuni del gioco。 Letta la versione italiana。Disegni spettacolari che rendono molto le atmosfere del videogame。Purtroppo la controparte videoludica non mi piaceva molto， per cui non l'ho terminato e molti particolari me li sono un po' persa。 Il primo volume riprende alcune delle vicende， senza però attraversare tutta la trama。 Una lettura da associare al gioco， sconsigliata se si è completamente digiuni del gioco。 。。。more

I， like most readers of Bloodborne， started the game and became instantly entranced in the lore。 What are hunters？ What is this Church？ Who is Paleblood？ This first volume of incredible images only made me hungrier。 I wish the graphic novels were twice as long！ Having not gone further than Father Casoigne yet in the game， much of this information is brand new to me— and oh， so exciting。 Starting the second immediately。 Horror and apocalypse fans: pick it up。

Bloodborne is my favorite video game of all time， so I’m always down for more material I can get my hands on。 I wasn’t expecting it to be this fun！ This comic tells a story of a hunter tasked with taking a Paleblood child out of Yharnam with the ultimate goal of using them to transcend the hunt entirely。 Along the way， the two develop a bond as they explore the outer rims of Yharnam， the forbidden woods， and the fishing hamlet of the Old Hunter’s DLC。 The artwork is great， the writing is decent Bloodborne is my favorite video game of all time， so I’m always down for more material I can get my hands on。 I wasn’t expecting it to be this fun！ This comic tells a story of a hunter tasked with taking a Paleblood child out of Yharnam with the ultimate goal of using them to transcend the hunt entirely。 Along the way， the two develop a bond as they explore the outer rims of Yharnam， the forbidden woods， and the fishing hamlet of the Old Hunter’s DLC。 The artwork is great， the writing is decent enough， and there are a ton of fun cameos of characters， monsters and bosses from the game！ This was a lot better than I thought it would be。 I’m very excited to read the next book in this series！ 。。。more

I finished playing Bloodborne on PS4 in May 2021。This is a great comic book series， based on Bloodborne， the difficult Victorian game by Hidetaka Miyazaki。 I don’t think it’s required to have played the game before you read this comic series， but it definitely helps， as some of the quotes are taken out of the game， and the experience of reading this comic series will be better if you’ve played the game。In this comic book， you are The Nameless Hunter。 Hunters hunt beasts。 Beasts used to be human I finished playing Bloodborne on PS4 in May 2021。This is a great comic book series， based on Bloodborne， the difficult Victorian game by Hidetaka Miyazaki。 I don’t think it’s required to have played the game before you read this comic series， but it definitely helps， as some of the quotes are taken out of the game， and the experience of reading this comic series will be better if you’ve played the game。In this comic book， you are The Nameless Hunter。 Hunters hunt beasts。 Beasts used to be human but got blood drunk after using the blood of the Old Gods too much （Old Gods are also known as Great Ones if I remember correctly）。The art style is very good。 I see a lot of familiar creatures in this comic that I slew in the game。 For those unfamiliar with this comic and who are picking it up for the first time， the protagonist is using a saw cleaver， which is a trick weapon。 In Bloodborne， melee weapons have two forms。The beasts and weapons are drawn very well， and the action is tightly paced and good。This story begins in Old Yharnam， which you saw in the game。 If you’ve played the game you don’t need to worry about reading what you’ve already played through。 This takes place before Old Yharnam was blocked off by the hunter that didn’t want anyone to kill the beasts。You’ll also see hunters carrying some familiar weapons， like the Hunter Axe and the Whirligig Saw。You can tell the author and/or artist who worked on this comic series have a great understanding of the game。The ending is very good and has you asking some interesting and "insightful" questions， like what is the difference between humanity and beasthood？ There was no cliffhanger at the end， so that's good。Issues #1-4 are collected in this trade paperback， and contain one complete story arc。Issues #5-8 are collected in Volume 2， The Healing Thirst。 You don't have to read either this volume， or that volume， in any particular order。 Volume 2 will cover how Yharnam became afflicted by the curse of beasthood。You can find Volume 2 here。https://relinks。me/1785869531 。。。more

I read many negative reviews of this comic。 I think most of them stem from people's typical approach to changes in their favorite work。 The first volume of Bloodborneis no by any means a bad comics nor is brilliant。The story takes place before the events of the game。 There are some familiar characters but also a couple of new ones。 I like that the comic does not focus on fighting， but on the journey， unknown， and hunter's purpose。 I am fond of Kowalski's drawings。 Buildings look very similar to I read many negative reviews of this comic。 I think most of them stem from people's typical approach to changes in their favorite work。 The first volume of Bloodborneis no by any means a bad comics nor is brilliant。The story takes place before the events of the game。 There are some familiar characters but also a couple of new ones。 I like that the comic does not focus on fighting， but on the journey， unknown， and hunter's purpose。 I am fond of Kowalski's drawings。 Buildings look very similar to those in the game。 Faces show emotions。 One thing that looks strange is severed bodies。 Unnatural， too clean， ripped of something。All in all I enjoyed Bloodborne volume one and waiting for more。 。。。more

Tie-in comics are usually dogshit， but this was surprisingly great。 Be warned though， if you aren't fairly familiar with Bloodborne's lore， you aren't likely to get anything out of this。 The storytelling here has actually managed to capture the cryptic， unreliable， piecemeal storytelling of the SoulsBorne games。 There is always a sense of dread and despair， that the world itself has succumbed to entropy。 What remains of the desolation is not worth saving。 There is very little plot here， but plen Tie-in comics are usually dogshit， but this was surprisingly great。 Be warned though， if you aren't fairly familiar with Bloodborne's lore， you aren't likely to get anything out of this。 The storytelling here has actually managed to capture the cryptic， unreliable， piecemeal storytelling of the SoulsBorne games。 There is always a sense of dread and despair， that the world itself has succumbed to entropy。 What remains of the desolation is not worth saving。 There is very little plot here， but plenty of story， and you'll understand what that means if you're a fan of Miyazaki's games。 In addition， I'll also say that Lovecraft's voice is very present in the internal monologue。 It's obvious that the writer is not merely a fan of Bloodborne， but a fan of its source material。 It's good to see those kinds of elements making their way in。So， does this add much to Bloodborne overall， that you can't get from the game？ Not really， but it does perhaps offer a bit of perspective on the mystery of paleblood。 Naturally， you won't find any direct answers here。 Still， I think it's absolutely a worthy little chapter in the universe。 If anything， it's very cool to see Bloodborne's world， characters， and creatures recreated in comic art。TLDR: Very good for a multimedia tie-in， but only for hardcore fans of the games。 。。。more

I do like that this is not a strict retelling of the entire story of Bloodborne but instead uses characters from the story like Gehrman and the Blood Starved Beast to tell a unique story that still fits into the actual game。 I do like that managed to incorporates the game mechanic of coming back to life after dying by explaining as if the hunter is feels like they are caught in a never ending nightmare which does fit really well into the story。

As a big fan of the games， I've been eyeing this for a while， but I've heard a lot of mixed things so it was never a priority。 Having finally gotten to the first volume， I can say that this was very much a Side Story that didn't add anything to the world or lore。 However， even though it felt overall pointless， I didn't dislike and it was a quick read。（Also I'm sorry but when Iosefka was like "What are you？ A man？ A woman？ With you， I could never tell。" and the Hunter just said "I am。。。a Hunter。" As a big fan of the games， I've been eyeing this for a while， but I've heard a lot of mixed things so it was never a priority。 Having finally gotten to the first volume， I can say that this was very much a Side Story that didn't add anything to the world or lore。 However， even though it felt overall pointless， I didn't dislike and it was a quick read。（Also I'm sorry but when Iosefka was like "What are you？ A man？ A woman？ With you， I could never tell。" and the Hunter just said "I am。。。a Hunter。" That should be a non-binary meme right there）。 。。。more

（Zero spoiler review）First of all， I both love and loathe the Bloodborne video game。 I picked it up cheap after over a decade away from video games。 I bought a cheap PS4 and looked online for a bunch of lists about what the best PS4 games were to buy。 Bloodborne was always on those lists， and thankfully too， the second hand store had a number of copies going cheap。 I grabbed one and threw it in the console a few months later。 I had never heard of， nor played a FromSoft game before。 Games so lege （Zero spoiler review）First of all， I both love and loathe the Bloodborne video game。 I picked it up cheap after over a decade away from video games。 I bought a cheap PS4 and looked online for a bunch of lists about what the best PS4 games were to buy。 Bloodborne was always on those lists， and thankfully too， the second hand store had a number of copies going cheap。 I grabbed one and threw it in the console a few months later。 I had never heard of， nor played a FromSoft game before。 Games so legendarily hard， they have inspired countless memes， discussion board threads and countless discussions across a variety of mediums。 I couple of hours later， I put down the game， disappointed and a little pissed off。 There was an amazing Lovecraftian world I was gagging to explore， although damnit if I didn't just keep dying like I had nothing better to do。 A few months later， and with a little bit more of my gaming chops having been recovered， I played it， and played it， and played it some more。 I fell in love with the game as it gave up its secrets， and I got a little better。 I still needed to grind my ass off， and be OP as hell in order to get to the end， but I got there， and boy was it a rewarding experience。 Now what does all that have to do with the comic book。 Well， if you didn't have a strong affinity with the title， I could very much imagine you having no idea what is going on here， and probably dismissing the title outright， awesome artwork notwithstanding。 The comic adeptly works in quite a bit of the videogame into the story， whilst maintaining the highly secretive and ambiguous nature of the story， to make it feel like a fairly effortless and logical extension of the game。 Now， Bloodborne is quite an outlier for me in the storytelling department。 Usually I like my lore and worldbuilding upfront and in your face。 Bloodborne doesn't do that。 Bloodborne is a mysterious， drip fed nightmare。 You could easily play this game and have very little idea what on earth is going on， such is the expertly crafted， sparse nature of the tale。 A modern horror masterpiece in videogame format。 The comics plot and storytelling， whilst not able to rise to the heights of the game， is compelling and loyal to the source material。 I would have loved a little more narration， a little more dark poetry in the wording at times， but I'm quibbling over what could easily have been a train wreck， had they gone down any other number of roads。 It was always going to be a difficult task to faithfully adapt this story， and Kot has done a solid jo of it。 If they can build on this solid foundation moving forward， then I'll be a happy hunter。 4/5OmniBen。 。。。more

Graphically championship。 Great very dynamic drawings， colors give the darkness that this action horror requires。 From the graphic side， I am fascinated。 From the point of view of the novel， the comic is very minimalist。 I didn't play RPG。 I think the lack of an extensive text layer relates to the game。 With this assumption I was going through history。 I will reach for the next volumes。 Graphically championship。 Great very dynamic drawings， colors give the darkness that this action horror requires。 From the graphic side， I am fascinated。 From the point of view of the novel， the comic is very minimalist。 I didn't play RPG。 I think the lack of an extensive text layer relates to the game。 With this assumption I was going through history。 I will reach for the next volumes。 。。。more

Simple， haunting， but the story is not there。 The pacing was off and didn’t seem to catch-up with itself until the story was 3/4 over。 Enjoyable read but confusing at the beginning。
