Fine I guess.
Will reread to see if there's relevant lore I missed.
Characters are boring. Action/plot slow. Came here for Fenris and closed the book feeling like I didn't really get Fenris.

I loved getting to see some of my favorite characters again. Some of the art style was weird and I wasn't as invested in the story as I thought I would be, but overall I liked it.

For some reason only the first issue is coming up on Goodreads but I read the whole volume (I think it’s 3 issues)—I’m just gonna mark it this way.
Listen, I’m an easily pleased bitch. ~one~ page of Fenris’s backstory? 4 stars
The only other thing I’ll say is that all the characters in this are characters from other DA graphic novels, which was actually quite fun but this book will be confusing without reading the other ones.

I assume they gave up and wrote whatever. We were going to read it anyway .

"DRAGON AGE: BLUE WRAITH #1, out Wednesday, January 15th from Dark Horse is the beginning of a whole new set of adventures. Once again we’ve been transported back to the delightful yet dangerous world that is Dragon Age.
There are a lot of reasons why Dragon Age fans should consider picking up Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1. For starters; do you remember Fenris from Dragon Age II? Odds are pretty good that you do – he’s about to make his first comic book appearance in these pages.
It’s also worth mentioning that this is the very same team behind Dragon Age: Knight Errant and Dragon Age: Deception. So if you enjoyed either of those series, this is one to check out (hint: they have some characters in common!)."

3.5/5
Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1 is a very busy book. Several plot threads are introduced in fairly quick succession leaving the reader little time to catch up. While the writing team sets these storylines into motion with the necessary skill, it stills feels a bit overwhelming at times. Especially if you don’t have prior experience with these particular Dragon Age characters. While the plot jumps a bit there is still a good amount of the characters on these pages. It is those characters that really pull the story together.
The strong narration from the perspective of one main protagonist, Francesca, holds the various plot threads together since the overall plot and themes of the issue lack cohesiveness. However, this does allow the book to cover a lot of ground while setting up the three-issue arc.
The art in Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1 is a wonderful presentation of the fantasy setting. Furukawa does a great job of capturing most of the Dragon Age feel in this story. The combat sequences are granted a sense of high energy and adventure, while still feeling weighty and dangerous. Blood isn’t spared in these sequences, putting the full feeling of danger within these panels.
The only place where the visuals fall a little short of my expectations is in how clean things are. The Dragon Age world has always been one of the grimier fantasy settings. This book lets most of that slide for a brighter look to its panels. While that look is excellently delivered, I would’ve liked to see a bit more of the worn outlook that is usually present in this setting.
Overall I found Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1 to be an enjoyable read. It got me invested in several of its characters, particularly the mage Francesca, and I am curious to see how its disparate plot threads will come together in the end.

I'm really enjoying these DA comics, and it will be nice starting DA4 with some idea of what's happened in Thedas while we were gone, for once. But, for the life of me, I cannot accept the way they draw horses in these. More specifically, people riding horses. All the saddles are far too low on those poor horses' back, and does any of you let them have a second of existence without a full set of equipment? Let horses rest their backs! Let them rest their mouths!
