One must know darkness in order to fight it. In that darkness is where heroes are born. Sideshow Collectibles is proud to exalt one such hero in Court of the Dead:Rise of the Reaper General.
How has reality become so contorted that nobility bears a grim countenance and our deliverance lies in a reaper’s redemption? One must know darkness in order to fight it. In that darkness is where heroes are born. Read the epic tale of Demithyle’s humble origin and selfless accession in Rise of The Reaper General.
Court of the Dead: Rise of the Reaper General is an illustrated novella featuring vivid illustrations and a gripping origin story that will inspire readers to join the Underworld in its rise against the corrupt celestial realms that rule us all.
Dare to discover the truth, and you shall find that the eternal struggle between Heaven and Hell is not a battle of good versus evil but a futile war between order and chaos. In such a universe, there are only those with power and those without it—and mortals are most definitely without. In the dark fantasy universe of the Court of theDead, the savage war between Heaven and Hell is fueled by mortal souls. Death and his Court are the unlikely heroes who struggle to overcome their dark natures in order to restore balance to all the realms.
Wow. What a ride. Clocking at 480 pages long, this is a very heavy yet sumptuous tome, filled with a riveting tale of a common soldier's rise to glory. The book itself is loaded with breathtaking and detailed illustrations detailing the world of the Court of the Dead, and the off-kilter, gory, dark and cruel world the main characters themselves inhabit. This book has serious echoes to the following works: Tamsyn Muir's the Locked Tomb, Overlord (the anime), Hellraiser and weirdly enough, Dungeon Keeper.
