Description
Issue #1
The monster-hit, historical fantasy/sci-fi Assassin's Creed videogame series from Ubisoft breaks into comics with a stunning 3-issue series written and illustrated by acclaimed creators Karl Kerschl and Cameron Stewart! Taking place in St. Petersburg, the comic first follows a 19th century Russian Assassin known as Nikolai Orelov as he strives to claim an artifact of immense power from the hands of the Templars, leading to a climactic and violent showdown with the ruthless Tsar Alexander III of Russia aboard a speeding train. Meanwhile, in modern times, Daniel Cross, a troubled young drifter, copes with unsettling visions of a possible past life– visions that have irreversible consequences for the present. Assassin's Creed: The Fall is an exciting new chapter in the popular series that no fan will want to miss.[2]
Issue #2
The comic book companion to the hit videogame series continues as Daniel Cross explores his mysterious past and his connection to the modern-day Order of Assassins. Meanwhile, his ancestor Nikolai Orelov prepares a dangerous siege on a Templar research station in remote Siberia – a mission that concludes with the devastating Tunguska Event.
Issue #3
The exciting comic book companion to the acclaimed video-game series reaches its final issue. The streets of Petrograd are filled with the color and noise of revolution – the Bolsheviks have taken control of the country, but there's still conflict within the ranks. Assassin Nikolai Orelov confronts the abdicated Tsar Nicholas II to learn the final location of the Staff. And in the present, Daniel Cross completes his pilgrimage to find the elusive Mentor of the Assassins, a quest that changes the Order forever.
