Black Beth: Vengeance Be Thy Name by DaNi, Alec Worley, Blas Gallego
4.0
Overall it was a nice collection of stories to read. The story of Black Beth is compelling and I admire the creators for dredging her up and bringing her back to readers.
So the first story, the orginal ‘Black Beth’ was a nice introduction. A classic woman scorned story of a dictator killing a village but Beth escapes and goes to learn the ways of battle to avenge her husband and village. Definitely makes you want to see more of her journeys.
Which takes us to ‘The Magos of Malice’ where we see Beth on a mission to save some people and having to learn a lesson about her rage. Not my favourite story of the bunch but I enjoyed the art.
Then there is ‘The Witch Tree’ which helps us to learn more about Beth’s history and get more glimpses into this world where there are magic users and people who wish to kill them. Would love for this to be expanded more on.
My favourite story was ‘The Devils of Al-Kadesh’, partly because it was the only one in colour and the art was so beautiful but also because the story was intriguing and expanded more on the world building.
A small bit at the end with ‘Fairy Tales’ which was a sore ending and I wish there was more.
Really nice art from Dani (who’s work in Arkham City I really enjoyed) throughout, and the other artists too, and I would love to see more of Black Beth in the future.
