Horizon Zero Dawn Vol. 1: The Sunhawk by Anne Toole
4.0
Sometimes with Comics I wait until a few of them are out in volume collections to finally read them. This volume one focuses on Talanah, one of Aloy’s companions from the first game. Sometimes graphic novels of video game don’t tie into the bigger story or are filled with conflictions of the source material. Off the bat I love that these comics are focused, they are a lead up to the sequel video game. They are written by the team that works on the actual game.
Now finishing the sequel video game Forbidden West, I can say it ties in! And the character you meet in this volume is introduced and acknowledged in the sequel game.
These are excellent companion pieces to getting more backstory on the other characters of the Horizon’s world especially that the games focus on Aloy herself. These comics give others time to shine.
Recommended for fans. It does sort of work stand-alone and has recap pages and tons of expositions for those who don’t know or need a refresher but I wouldn’t recommend as a jumping point. Those who only beat the first game will have fun reading these before they jump into part two though.
