Review of Zahn - Book 1

I got a surprise in the mail the other day, Zahn Book #1 from Class Comics.

Zahn - Book 1 cover As I quickly paged through this gay comic book, I was struck by how the illustrations gave me the impression that this was a Conan the Barbarian type of story. When I actually sat down to read Zahn, it was then that I discovered that this was no mere coincidence. Patrick Fillion, the writer and illustrator of this erotic gay tale notes in the introduction that when he was a kid he loved Conan the Barbarian and Masters of the Universe, and that Zahn was inspired by these childhood memories.

The story of Zahn takes place in the Great Land of Varda, a place where powerful beasts, ancient magic and horny barbarians rule the land.

When we meet Zahn, he’s off on a vision quest; but it turns out that somewhere along the way, Zahn’s memory has been stolen by a dark magic connected to the evil that is ravaging his land.

However new memories surface that indicate that he holds within a tremendous power which could annihilate him if he doesn’t learn how to control it.

Our sexy hero must stop the evil destroying Varda, make some new allies, and discover his own destiny… or lose everything!

I found this book to be beautifully illustrated and the tale both fascinating and sexy. I must confess that the ending took me quite by surprise – how Fillion is going to explain that one in book two, I just don’t know. Regardless, it looks like the adventures of Zahn are off to a very good start and that there’s more interesting and sexy tales to be told.
