I love a fantasy epic with a map and a world-building depth that you can really sink your teeth into. While Fortune certainly kicks off with a map and plenty of intriguing detail about its fantastical kingdoms, it does so to tell a story that’s zoomed in on a particular party of mercenaries, with glimpses at the dangers in the world beyond their immediate surroundings.

The young band have been confronted in a tavern, with a rival making a deadly challenge that they really shouldn’t accept. Beyond this threat, something is lurking in the wilderness, and the danger it brings is looking likely to soon become a much bigger problem…

I was very intrigued by the events of the first issue of Fortune, so I’m glad that creator Luke McKoy shared a digital copy of the second issue with me. It’s an exciting read, and the artwork is very well done, with some great action, along with some terrifying moments (and great design work), as we head towards the climax.

Though this is issue 2 of a 5 issue series, it feels as if the rich setting and the details briefly doled out at the outset lend themselves to a variety of stories within the same world. Regardless of that, I’m really looking forward to seeing how this particular tale plays out.
