[1] The comic book series was scripted by fantasy author Daniel Abraham and drawn by Tommy Patterson.

[8] Weekly Comic Book Review gave the first issue a "B−", appreciating Patterson's art but finding the colors to be inappropriately bright and shiny.

[9] Broken Frontier reviewed the "enjoyable adaption" favorably, but asked for "a tighter focus on characters over plot points, and a more serious take on the art".

[10] While they appreciated Patterson's settings, they considered that his art dipped in quality when it came to facial expressions, making characters appear distracting and misshapen.

[4] The Courier News's reviewer, on the other hand, dismissed the adaptation as presenting "a world filled with fantasy cliches, void of style and indistinguishable from any other mediocre book dubiously depicting the middle ages".
