The Dark Knights of Steel universe expands with two new tales, including a fantastic Viking-themed chapter starring Deathstroke.
The world of Dark Knights of Steel grows with two new stories, one set in the past and another set across distant seas. The new Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter miniseries features a brand new prestige story by Australian fantasy novelist Jay Kristoff and French illustrator Tirso alongside a prequel by writer Tom Taylor and artist Riccardo Federici.
The original Dark Knights of Steel expertly threaded the needle between Game of Thrones-style shocks and a world that felt both familiar and strange to longtime DC Comics readers. Instead of imitating that style, Kristoff and Tirso opt instead for a grimmer and more melancholy take, using a palette of black and white to reflect a grim North where Vandal Savage has built an empire of eternal winter.
What I enjoyed most about Allwinter was how Kristoff and Tirso opted for something very different from the first Dark Knights of Steel series, with a"low" fantasy take and a Norse-inspired aesthetic instead of the Central European fantasy knights of the original. Additionally, Tirso uses an exclusively grey-toned color palette for Allwinter, reflecting both the grim winter of Savage's rule and Slade's outlook on life.
Meanwhile, Taylor returns to the world that he created in"Heir to the Sea" with a new prequel story about Jonathan and Martha Kent, two characters missing from Dark Knights of Steel. Here, they are renowned warriors working for the Waynes who are put on a collision course with an underwater tyrant and what seems to be a soon-to-be-born Aquaman.
Allwinter is a solid expansion to the original Dark Knights of Steel and I'm glad that DC sees value in this fantasy-inspired take on their superhero universe. Taylor ushered in a bold and dangerous ethos with the original miniseries and Allwinter, at least at the outset, appears ready to continue this. Art by Tirso and Riccardo Federici
