Synopsis: Long ago in Persia, there lived a Prince -- a man of honor,
of valor, and full of strength -- a man for his people, who lived with them and
took on their trials and hardships. And he was loved. His name is no longer remembered. When people speak of him,
they call him merely, 'The Prince of Persia,' as if there have been no others,
and his descendants are enjoined to live like him, to be like him, to the ends
of their days. Long ago in Persia, there were many princes, one following
another, sometimes quick, sometimes slow, sometimes fat, clever, joyous, and
all more or less honorable. And in some of those princes there shone the spirit
of The Prince of Persia, for in Persia time spins like a wheel, and what is to
come has already happened, and then happens again, year in and year out.
This is the story of two of those princes, and of the
destiny that threads their lives together. (from the online description)
Review: A bit confusing at first, as it jumps between the stories - but once you get used to the shift in color pallettes, it makes more sense. The story itself it a tightly woven one of love and danger, death and greed, redemption and suffering. The art gives much to the story, using bold lines and stylized drawings to bring to life a fantastic world. Def. Worth reading, for it's own sake, even if you know nothing about the game (which I do not.)
