He Died Protecting Her… So Why Is He Still Here? (Corpse Knight #1 Review)

Jace of The Comic Source breaks down Corpse Knight #1 from Skybound Entertainment, written by Michael Chaves with art by Matthew Roberts and colors by Rico Renzi. Set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, the story follows a young girl named Foy and her father as they struggle to survive in a dangerous, war-torn countryside, with the relationship between the two serving as the emotional foundation of the issue. After tragedy strikes, that bond takes a dark and unexpected turn when her father returns under mysterious circumstances, raising questions about faith, sacrifice, and what it truly means to protect someone. Jace highlights the cinematic storytelling approach, the strength of the visual narrative, and how the issue leans more into character-driven dark fantasy than traditional horror, while also touching on the Joan of Arc element that sets up the broader journey ahead. 👉 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource
