Blurb

The Golden Age of Pirates

In 1715, pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures.

Into this world sails a young, cocky, and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into an ancient conflict that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.

Issues

14/12/2016 - With Masato’s mother in a coma and her life in the Templars’ hands, will Masato be able to find the answers he seeks by continuing with Edward Kenway’s life as an 18th Century pirate turned unwilling Assassin? Or could this next voyage kill them both?

Differences

Several of the events in Assassin's Creed: Awakening differ greatly from the one in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, despite it being an adaptation of the game.

Characters

Volume 2 cover
  • Duncan Walpole's face was clean-shaven and he died due to exhaustion and the blast from the ship, unlike in the game, where he was shown with a beard and died by Edward's blade.
  • Adéwalé seemingly does not appear in the comic.
  • Throughout the comic, Edward Kenway receives flashes of Eagle Vision that allows him to see through things and anticipate movements.
