DRAGON SWORD COMIC: EPISODE 3: Episode 3
SYNOPSIS:
----------------
In the magical land of Velaria, humans and dragons were locked in an ancient war until four champions emerged victorious by slaying Ariyon, the commander and last member of the dragon's army.
For orphans in this world, all are believed to be descended from the mother dragon and thus bore the surname "Dragonborn," a label that is believed to bring bad luck to their communities, it was rumored that all orphans were to be killed after the war.
Nevertheless, one baby survives, and it is discovered in a basket floating down a river after the final battle. One of the four champions takes her in and trains her, unaware that this orphan has a power nobody knows, and that could change the fate of Velaria forever. Her name is Alena of Dragonborn.
EPISODE 3:
-----------------
Alena of Dragonborn and John Narry arrive to the neighbor village of blasta and meet the inhabitants of the Inn. The original mission is changed after the first night at the inn, when the daughter of the innkeeper is kidnapped by a very strange monster. Our heroes do not think about anything else and decide to track the footprints of the monster and enter a lugubrious dungeon, where presumably the child is held hostage.
Who is the responsible of the kidnapping? What is his purpose? Will our heroes survive all the traps hidden in the dungeon? Will our heroes be able to freed the innkeeper's daughter??

But I guess I'm not impartial since I created it.
This third episode picks up exactly where the second episode left off. Alena and John find themselves separated after falling into a magic trap. Alena must navigate the dangers of the smelly dungeon alone, while the wicked goblin couple continues to plan their evil deeds.
Will Alena be able to stay on her mission and save the innkeeper's daughter? Is John truly dead? All of these questions and more are answered in this action-packed episode.
The original version of this episode was quite lengthy and required a complete layout overhaul. I managed to condense it from over 200 pages to 140, which presented a challenge. However, I sincerely believe that the result was worth it. This new version maintains the high-quality images seen in the remastered Episode 2, while elevating the complexity of the action and magical scenes. I truly hope you all enjoy the outcome.
Although the dungeon arc concludes with this episode, the story is far from over. In fact, it is just the beginning!

Another red hot entertainer
Loved the first two parts from this series and this one was even more satisfying!
It is packed with thrilling scenes and fight sequences. Magical powers of the goblins and Alena sizzled the story. Poor John was a flop again even though he tried his best with his subpar magical prowess.
The heart stopping end left me stranded and now I am waiting for the next installment.

Despite my issues with the first two episodes of this comic book, I couldn’t resist the urge to check out the third instalment and see how things are panning out—could it be it’s growing on me?
Whatever the case, I did find this episode an improvement on the first two. The basic story is of Alena and John entering an odious dungeon to rescue Kira, the innkeeper’s daughter, from a couple of evil goblin-like creatures—who don’t like being called goblins yet don’t give any clue to what they are in actual fact. There’s also a ‘giantified’ worm used by the evil duo, which although referred to as a ‘monster’ looks more like a cuddly muppet-like creature. The encounter of the forces of good and evil descends into a fight in which our heroes don’t have it all their own way. The pair complement each other well, with their differing skills, some of which they hadn’t realised they had—but you’ll have to read the next episode to find out more about that.
The comic-book style works well—with the sexualisation of Alena kept to an absolute minimum this time around. The pantie-shot doesn’t occur until page 107 of 124 , and before that it’s somewhat muted—either that, or I’m getting used to it. The language is much improved as well, without the typos detected in previous episodes, and I note that the author has remastered those, as he notes at the end. There a handy ‘story so far’ section at the beginning, with character résumés, and an Annex of Spells at the end along with some extra pictures which presumably couldn’t be fitted into the main story.
Overall, a successful attempt at comic-book storytelling.

Loved It
Once again I am impressed by this comic book. The plot and the character design are both amazing. Words can’t express how impressed I am! 10/10 no notes. Perfection.

I enjoyed this episode very much. The continuation of the series was well presented. I like the interaction between John and Alena, and l suspect they will draw more to each other as the series continues.
The illustrations are first-class and help to draw you into the story.
I was glad that they were able to rescue the innkeeper's daughter, but have they? They are not back at the lnn yet so we must wait.
Any reader would be very curious to see what happens in the next episode. We are left wanting more.
Again, if this is what you like as a reader, then this series, without a doubt, will continue to entertain.

In my recent exploration of the Dragon Sword series, Episode 3 proved to be a captivating experience. It successfully held my attention throughout, and I am eager to articulate my reflections.
Situated within a fantastical realm replete with goblins, magic, and the protagonists Alena and John, this episode seamlessly continues the narrative from its predecessor. The duo confronts their most formidable adversaries yet, embarking on a perilous quest to liberate the innkeeper's daughter from the clutches of nefarious goblins.
What distinguishes this particular episode is its adept interweaving of action and humor. The author's sagacity is evident in every frame, sustaining a buoyant atmosphere even in the face of imminent danger. Whether it be the idiosyncratic antics of the goblin sidekick or the intense showdowns with mystical adversaries, the narrative remains dynamic and engaging.
The evolution of the characters stands out as a noteworthy aspect. The bond between Alena and John deepens as they confront adversity together, offering a gratifying spectacle as they overcome challenges and discover newfound strengths. The enigmatic "owner" lurking in the shadows adds an extra layer of intrigue – I am eager to unravel their true identity.
Naturally, an assessment of the work would be incomplete without acknowledging the remarkable artwork. The vivid illustrations breathe life into the fantastical world of Dragon Sword, immersing readers in its vibrant landscapes and dynamic action sequences. Whether portraying a fierce battle in the depths of a dungeon or a tender moment between friends, each panel serves as a visual delight.
In conclusion, Episode 3 of the Dragon Sword series stands as a triumph across various dimensions. With its compelling storyline, endearing characters, and breathtaking artwork, it emerges as a mandatory read for enthusiasts of fantasy and adventure. Personally, I anticipate the next installment with great anticipation – I am committed to the long haul.
For those in search of an epic journey filled with thrills, laughter, and indelible moments, the Dragon Sword series proves itself unparalleled. Rest assured, disappointment is not on the horizon.

This book is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. I'll start with the strengths, and then move to the weaknesses.
The digital art is well done and I'm sure it takes hours of work to put a book like this together. It's a task many people couldn't complete, so kudos to the author for doing all that work. Now the art is rather dark (the setting is a dungeon) so it is hard to read on a kindle. Keep that in mind when you make your purchase.
The story premise itself is reasonable. A kidnapped girl, the boy sidekick who has fallen into a trap, the nasty goblins. It's all good. The story could use some deeper development to bring out the plot points better. However, the writing is set for a young audience (more on that below) so it's an easy read, and it was amusing.
Now for the issues. There is an incoherence between the junior writing style targeted at a young audience (very simple on-the-nose dialogue for young kids), the sexual attraction targeted at an adolescent audience (primarily teen boys with inappropriate sexualization of young women), and the adult-style vocabulary targeted at an older audience (foul language when things go wrong). It would be far more effective if the author stuck with one target audience and carried that through the entire story. In this case, the junior writing style is most prominent and fits the story, and could fill the pages quite nicely. When the sexual content is added, it doesn't fit and is gratuitous; ditto for the foul language. It makes it appear the author has run out of story, or doesn't understand how to build drama and tension, so he resorts to these tricks to keep the audience reading. The author would do better to refine the story rather than resort to sex and swearing. There is enough material here to have fun, create excitement, and keep us turning the pages.
I do hope the author continues to develop his stories and his skills. There is lots of potential here, and with some refinement this could be a great adventure story.

Rock—Paper—Scissors
John Narryn is almost as hot as Alena of Dragonborn in Ricardo Sánchez Medina’s “Dragon Sword Episode 3: Squad to the rescue” (particularly page 35). I imagine that by the end our two heroes will be almost indistinguishable (surely they will get together?). The most important thing to note is Medina has listened to the feedback for the previous episodes, and not only has he updated those issues, but has clearly worked hard on Episode 3 to make it more enjoyable. Well done!
In this instalment, Alena and Narryn set off on their most perilous quest yet, where they face goblins, magic and all kinds of danger. The story picks up where the previous episode left off, with them confronting new adversaries in their quest to rescue the innkeeper's daughter from the ever-present goblins and their “smelly dungeon”.
Medina continues to combine humour, licentiousness and somewhat more plot in this story. The Daz3D Studio rendering is much improved, and the number of times Alena exposes her red undergarments is greatly reduced. And of course, while Alena and Narryn still aren’t together, their repartee is delightful and there is clearly something new growing between them. But it is the goblins that are centre stage in this edition, their off-beat antics are spectacular (rock—paper—scissors). That is, of course, until John Narryn starts to use his hard-earned magic skills.
Suffice to say, Alena and Narryn rescue Kira Inn, the kidnapped innkeeper’s daughter, from the goblins (introduced as “a peculiar couple of goblins who have been implicated in sending the Deynonichus herd to the small village of Blasta”). Unforunately, there are no dinosaurs in this episode, which is a shame, because Alena can kill them with a kick of her stiletto.
It's not clear what direction ‘Dragon Sword’ will continue to take, but I for one will keep on reading. £3 for 135 pages of well-rendered images? Give it a try!

A vibrant addition to an increasingly engaging series in Velaria
This was the third comic I’ve read in the Dragon Sword series by Ricardo Sanchez Medina, and once again I was enthralled by the mesmerizing illustrations throughout. But this time I was more entranced with the storyline, which felt more straightforward and engaging compared to the first two comics I read in this series.
It’s a simple plot in which each character is at first involved separately from one another, trying to fight his or her own way out of a particular mess, and it concludes with a grand duel and another cliffhanger. Some may recall the previous comic story ending with John Narryn in a very precarious situation. This tale centers on the rescue of the innkeeper’s daughter, whom readers met last time.
Prior to the story getting started, Medina provides background info on John and Alena, who have an undercurrent of attraction between them, with Alena always putting John off. Other characters are also introduced at the start. The evil-looking goblins add definite fright and spark to this particular tale, which contains the usual elements of humor during lower-key moments.
I read this Dragon Sword story in one sitting on my Kindle Fire horizontally instead of vertically, and the result was a reading experience that truly felt up close and cinematic. The illustrations are just so good, and I couldn’t stop scrolling to see how everything would end. This is another great addition to a fantastic series that Medina has so artfully and creatively produced.

I have been a fan of this comic series from the first volume, and they keep getting better with each episode.
The author looks to be taking comments from people to heart and is constantly working to better the quality of these comics. I do appreciate that.
Volume 3 picks up exactly where Vol. 2 left off, as we see our two heroes continue their quest to save the inn-keepers daughter from some goblin goons. The baddies in this episode are the most powerful Alena and John have come up against thus far. I like how they are really put to the test this time. They are actually quite beat, until something special happens, I won't spoil the story.
The goblins steal the show, with one of them being able to perform magic, while the other is more of a dumb assistant. However, the two combined are very powerful, and they refer to their "owner," which means a more sinister baddie is waiting somewhere. I can't wait to see who or what was responsible for controlling these goblins.
This is what makes this story great. It keeps building, upping the stakes and difficulty for adventures with each episode. The only minor complaint I had was the lighting in this one was extremely dark. I had to turn up the brightness on my tablet to appreciate the art. - But they were in a dungeon so I guess I understand. Well done, I will be moving on to the fourth volume soon.

Episode 3 of the Dragon Sword series is my favorite one by far. The series has been improving consistently in terms of polish, setting, characters, and plot, but Episode 3 takes these improvements to a new level. The author's skill in crafting action scenes is particularly evident in this comic. Moreover, following the slower pace of Episode 2, the increase in tempo here was a welcome change.
As per usual, I need to highlight the value offered by this series. With over a hundred pages filled with impressive 3D visuals and rich content, the comics are always worth the price. It's a deal that feels good every time I pick up an issue.
What seems to draw people back to this series is the humor, and Episode 3 doesn't disappoint in this arena. The author's sharp wit and the playful yet sometimes prickly character interactions are a highlight. The balance between serious and humorous scenes is well managed. The depiction of the goblins is a good example; they're portrayed as threatening yet also contribute to the comic's humor, a blend that's not easy to achieve.
In conclusion, Episode 3 is a strong addition to the Dragon Sword series. It's sure to please fans with its blend of action, humor, and story development. All in all, it's a great addition to the series, and fans will not be disappointed.

Dragon sword is a very fun comic. I’m not usually much of a comic book reader but when I saw this I thought why the hell not let’s give it a try and to tell you the honest truth, I truly enjoyed it. The story is well thought out and the art is very pleasing and beautiful with no awkward panels that are usually present in most comics at least once or twice. I read this book in one night and I am definitely going to buy the previous issues as well as future ones.The story follows Alena the Dragonborn and her companion John Narryn as the go to rescue an innkeepers daughter from some goblins in a magical world where a passed war between humans and dragons took place. Monsters, goblins, magic and danger this comic has everything for any fantasy lover that also includes a perfect level of fighting with a little bit of blood. The humor is absolutely perfect that left me chuckling and the fight scenes are very well thought out. It left me turning to the next page as fast as I could just to find out what the next move would be. Magic battles, brawls with fists and sword fights, love it. There is also a handy little index of spells that help explain what some of the magic does and how it works which I think is excellent because I feel like we learn more about this world and I feel apart of it

‘Dragon Sword Comic: Episode 3 by Ricardo Sanchez continues the rescue of the Innkeepers’ daughter Kira, who was captured by a couple of goblins. It starts with Alena distraught that John has fallen into a deep pit, perhaps to his death. Fortunately, John survives because the goblins forget to drain the pit of water that cushions his fall. John discovers a passageway out of the pit and uses a spell to help Alena defeat a large worm that has attacked her. Eventually, our heroes reach the chamber where the goblins are holding Kira, but they must confront the goblins, who are craftier than they look. They try fighting with weapons and spells, but the goblins block everything they throw at them. All seems lost until Alena magically discovers an inner strength that helps her defeat the goblins, who are forced to escape through a portal. This episode is filled with considerably more action than episode 2 but still has misspellings and grammar errors that pull the reader out of the story. Also, most of the action occurs in only two fight scenes that are not particularly creative. Once again, John takes a few too many sexual liberties, grabbing Alena’s butt at one point and upskirting Kira as he attempts to rescue her. The comic still appears aimed at juvenile boys looking for thrills and does not depict female characters as much more than sex symbols.

Dragon Sword Episode 3 continues the exciting fantasy adventure, ramping up the action and stakes. Our heroes Alena and John face their greatest challenge yet in rescuing the innkeeper's daughter Kira from a pair of cunning goblins.
The story hits the ground running with John trapped in a pit, setting up an early action sequence as Alena battles a giant worm monster. The pacing is brisk as they soon confront the goblins holding Kira captive deep in their lair. The goblins prove formidable foes, blocking Alena and John's magic and weapons with crafty countermeasures.
The fight choreography is dynamic and well-rendered in the vibrant 3D artwork. I enjoyed seeing Alena and John combine their strengths, with Alena discovering new powers in a pivotal moment. The goblins are entertaining villains, one a scheming sorcerer and the other a bumbling but dangerous sidekick. Just when it seems our heroes prevail, a cliffhanger ending sets up an intriguing continuation.
With improved dialogue, fewer distracting elements, and an engaging, high-stakes story, Episode 3 is the strongest Dragon Sword installment yet. The evolving character dynamics and tantalizing broader narrative have me eagerly anticipating what comes next.

I’m here for part 3, so clearly Medina has worked his literary hook into my mouth.
I like to review as I read, so here we go:
Starts with John having fallen down a pit. I like the reversal of the damsel in distress as it seems John can’t go five minutes without needing Alena’s help.
I might be wrong in my previous assessment. The tables seemed to have turned.
Great action shot as the beast is slain.
Great action scene, read to the end without comment.
What is immediately obvious is how much the author has improved from part one. The stakes are always high, the plot is far more interesting, the dialogue has improved and the MCs have been further developed.
I took one star for a few mistakes and certain points that I felt had inappropriate dialogue from some characters. It might be way off the mark, but there were points where the dialogue seemed to not fit the character speaking. And I thought the worm could have been designed a bit better, but the action shots were great, really adding to already powerful scenes.

My favourite comic series is back with another thrilling installment. Dragon Sword Episode 3 picks up from where we left off, with Alina and John separated as they seek to rescue the woman from the monsters within the cave.
The story was smooth and moved along at a good pace, with the animation style still eye-catching and dramatic. There are a couple of actions scenes in this episode which are a bit more focussed than the other episodes, leading well into the two characters and their development as we are them as trainees and now going out on adventures themselves. Both big battles are different and there is a surprise at the end which gives an idea of where the series is going next.
This series has all the hallmark of a fantasy comic and I love the uniqueness of its style. I am getting more and more engaged with the characters as time goes on and am looking forward to reading more.

The fantasy tale continues in this third-entry, which focuses far more on action. Our young heroes, Alena and John, are faced with their most arduous quest yet. They essentially have to go through a dungeon to rescue a girl, who’s been held captive for mysterious reasons. But they must also face off against some formidable foes. The two goblins in this story seem particularly powerful and far more experienced. So I wasn’t sure how things might unfold, which created some suspense. This episode doesn’t have as much world building, but I enjoyed it more for the various fight scenes. I was also impressed with how the author was able to animate the action. It also sets up an arc for our main character, Alena, and her own secret abilities. But the overall tale remains light-hearted, for now at least. This comic is probably best for people looking for a young adult-themed, video game RPG story.

I must preface this review by saying that I have never been a comic book reader. But graphic novels have become very popular and as a young adult novel author, I was curious. So, I purchased this book. The AI illustrations were mostly well done, though Alena, one of the heroes in the series (this is the third book of the series) was more sexualized than I would like, and I wonder who the designer was that put spike heels on her and the innkeeper’s daughter. Has he ever tried running in high heels? There is plenty of action as Alena and her partner, John, attempt to rescue the innkeeper’s daughter who has been kidnapped by two very ugly goblins. One of the goblins is the brawn of the pair and the other is the brains who also has magical talents. The two villains also hint at an “owner” who is even more evil than they are, foreshadowing for the next book. Dialogue in graphic novels is a bit disjointed.

Danger. Dungeon. Goblins. All can be found within the pages of DRAGON SWORD COMIC: EPISODE 3: Episode 3. Following the protagonists from the previous books as they try and save the innkeeper’s daughter, it was a campy journey the whole way through. From the gigantic worm fight to the goblin wizards to the spells themselves (kind of reminded me of Final Fantasy with the names, or Kingdom Hearts) and to the part at the end where the woman goes super Saiyan and defeats the goblins, I really enjoyed the entire thing. Sorry if I spoiled it, but you can’t really describe the book without it, as it’s just good cheesy fun.
Plus, I liked the artwork. While 3d comics are hard to get right, mostly due to lighting and stuff, the author does it well enough that I don’t go, “Wow this is terrible”, and for the most part, sticks the landing (outside of a few panels where the fire spell looks kind of flat). Anyway, definite recommend from me!

This is the first one I read of this series and I could catch up really quickly as there is a brilliant summary at the beginning as well as a summary of the main characters, so you can start on this episode and then catch up by reading the past ones. It is a rather short comic and I read it within one hour. This fantasy comic will keep you entertained from the beginning with endless action, magic and impossible to wear stilettos. There is an amusing dynamic between the main two characters, Alena and John, although kind of predictable. The “bad” characters are a pair of goblins. I found them very humorous and liked their sense of calmness even when everything they try goes wrong. The 3D illustrations are really good and provide a sense of being real, as if you were there too. I was left in suspense as to what was happening next so I’ll definitely be reading the next chapter. I loved the spells at the end.

Tons of action
Episode 3 of Dragon Sword is packed with action as John and Alena rush to save the unfortunate innkeeper’s daughter. There is definitely no shortage of fight scenes here, and a few unexpected plot twists that promise bigger challenges ahead. The author gives the fight scenes the pages they deserve, despite the massive amount of animation required. Please keep it coming.
Though combat intensive, this issue helps the story move forward. Some interesting aspects of the overriding plot are revealed, and our heroes continue to become more relatable. I just wish John would keep his hands to himself!
The personalities of the villains are also further developed, as are their capabilities. If things keep going this way, there is a lot of fun and action ahead. Sorry, but I almost found myself rooting for the oafs.
I am looking forward to getting my hands (kindle) on the next installment I can find! I’ sure it won’t disappoint.

DRAGON SWORD COMIC: EPISODE 3 is another good one by Ricardo Sánchez Medina. Excellent pictures, nice action sequences, and relationships we remain interested in after a couple books. We see one of our heroes level up in magical skill, which is promising. I was pleasantly surprised that the skill developed when they needed it the most.
As always, the book keeps its good humor. So while everyone might be sexy, our heroic female characters do not allow the male character to get anywhere near them, even when he was blasted into them by the villains.
Fortunately, here, the quest actually finds resolution, while the prior book in the series seemed to just set it up. The author will have to make sure that each entry has some sort of payoff or resolution; if so, we’ll be reading all the books in the series.
Well, we’ll probably read them regardless – that’s how good the pictures are and likeable the characters are.

I just finished the book “Dragon Sword Comic Episode 3” by Ricardo Sanchez Medina and I really enjoyed it! This comic picks up right where the last episode left off, with Alena and John trying to rescue the innkeeper’s daughter, Kira, from a pair of tricky goblins. The action is non-stop, with exciting fight scenes and some surprising twists that kept me hooked. The goblins are funny yet dangerous, making them memorable villains. One is a sneaky sorcerer, while the other is a bumbling assistant, adding some light-hearted humor. The story moves fast and the art is fantastic, especially during the action-packed moments. Alena and John’s teamwork grows as they face bigger challenges, and the magic and humor blend perfectly. This episode really steps up the series, with great character development and a cliffhanger that makes me eager for the next one. I recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy, action, and a bit of humor! I think they will enjoy it.

Picking up from the previous volumes of Dragon Sword, John and Alena continue their adventure tracking down the goblins to rescue the innkeepers’ daughter, Kira. John displays an amazing ability to fire off some good-quality firo and blocko spells, impressing Alena. Alena discovers her own inner power, too. Something long dormant has now awakened.
First, we start right where the story left off in part two: in the dungeon, after John falls into the pit. Now, grief-struck, Alena vows to continue on in John’s name, to rescue Kira no matter what stands in her way.
The story is extremely straightforward and direct. It doesn’t drown in a pool of subtext or symbolism, nor does it pretend to be nuanced or complex.
This is pure, distilled sword and sorcery. If you’re into magic, battling monsters, and mystical creatures, this is exactly one hundred percent what you want. You will dig it!

Episode 3 picks up right where we left off in the last book. Alena is having to navigate an underground dungeon that is full of traps in hopes of making a daring rescue. This story is full of action, adventure, & humor that has been a trademark of this series. I don't want to say too much, but there is an epic battle that occurs & Alena will be unleashing even greater powers & ability than she even realized she had, but at what cost?
This series is so amazing to follow & I really want it made into a TV series or movie franchise. It would be amazing for anyone who enjoys fantasy adventures like Lord of the Rings or Pirate of the Caribbean. The artwork is so magnificent as well. I will warn you that this episode ends on a cliffhanger & you will need the next book right away. Don't make the mistake I did of not having it yet. Make sure you have episode 4 before you finish this one. Happy reading to everyone. I can wait for more of this series it's so much fun to read!

Episode 3 continues the Dragon Sword story with more danger, tension, and character growth. The kidnapping of the innkeeper’s daughter adds urgency right away, and the dungeon setting—complete with traps and hidden passages—keeps the pace fast and engaging. I especially enjoyed the way Alena and John’s relationship deepens under pressure; their banter and reliance on each other bring real heart to the story.
The artwork is atmospheric and sets the mood well, though there are a few panels where proportions feel slightly off. Some transitions between scenes could also use a bit more clarity, and the villain’s motives remain vague at this stage. Still, the episode balances action, puzzle-like challenges, and emotional beats nicely.
Overall, it’s a strong continuation that keeps me invested in the series. A few small rough edges, but definitely worth reading if you’ve been following along.

This is the third book I’ve read in this series. It tells about the journeys of Alena and John. Alena is a warrior loaded with skill. She brings action and heroism to the tale. John is like a wizard. He’s oversexed and clumsy. John brings a lot of the comedy to the story. I have to say that this series it’s growing on me. I don’t think it’s that the writing or pic quality has improved. I think it’s just the type of story that grows on you as you move on. The pictures and words are very cheesy. I think this is intentionally done. It reminds of a 90’s B movie. I found myself laughing several times, and there’s a subtle eroticism that helps the reader keep turning pages. If you’re looking for a serious fantasy comic book, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for something light hearted and over the top cheesy, than this series is for you.
