Its been a while, and by this time i think most have bought all of the comic books of the Dawn of war 3 hunt for Gabriel seris . In my opinion it was some what better than the game, even tho i saw a lot of inaccuracies, lack of knowledge and creativity, lazyness and dam right poor decisions on how to make a dawn of war comic or story in that matter.
# BUT! what is your take on the comic seris.

Out off the five Covers ( Covers A. blood tavens attacking with tarkus looking sergeant, eye lenzes red not green and red a little light. Covers .B Eldar advancing. Covers .C DoW3 game cover of skull/helmet pile. Covers.D DoW3 trailer art of blood raven praying to emperor statue and Cover. E blood raven attacking orks but surrounded by orks) i could of got but due to my location at the time i settle for the Cover D, epic and even though the raven symbol is wrong i like the trailer that it was inspired by.
"The Hunt for Gabriel Angelos". well all of them are named that so ill just take that out
At first we start with a quick information page that nicely informs first timers of what is 40k, names of some importent and returning charactors, a little time-line on whats happened and whats happening in the 40k world(i think they got something wrong in the time line correct me if i am wrong or if they are), the enemies and quick interduction on the comic. We also get introduced to a new marine called Olivarr ( man what a twist
We start right away into the action as Gab (dow3 version
) and the blood ravens along with a House Varlock knight, fighting and owning orks as usaul (with OMG ITS OUR X scout marine cyrus, and our new marine Olivarr). Then suddently Gab looks at a fortress like building as if something is calling him, then orders Cyrus to follow him and Olivarr continue the attack as the two of them head of into the ruins. Hours later? on the bridge of a chapter ship, Oliverr talks with Tarkus and Jonah (YES MORE OLDIES BACK AND FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT) explaining that the chapter master and Cyrus did not return (even though he says "he did not return"). Then cut to awesome sequence of both Olivarr and Tarkus agreeing to both command a team to find or hunt down the chapter master, as the thunderhawk blastes off down to the planet, over a battlefield and a ork tank busta shoots a rocket and hits the thunderhawk (why is a blood angles banner on the bridge of the...............the ship i can't identify it is it a Battle Cruisers or battleship??? ). As the sergeants try to control the crashing hawk a quick joke is put in as Martellus(ANOTHER RETURNING CHARACTOR YEA) asks if Olivarr wants assistance landing the ship the 3rd time lol. Epic crash sequance, ork who shot them down heads over to see his handy work but gets killed as the Marines disembark from the crashed Thunderhawk, Oliverr orders Martellus to stay behind and repair the crashed ship and get it airborne ready As the rest of them head off on foot to start searching, Cut to the bridge Jonah nor the communications officer can get any contact with the anyone on the ground saying the entire world has gone dark, Cut back to the ground as we see our squad chatting as they approach a battlefield and see the dam elder besieging their brothers and thus join the fight (wait why is Martellus with them when he is meant to fixing the the hawk). After defeating the elder they find an injured Cyrus (random assult marine that was not with them??? ) telling them that Gabrial ordered him to stay behind as he went alone into the city catacombs, Both Sergeants speculate possibility of heresy and give each other serious glances at each other, Olivarr orders two marines to head back with Cyrus to the Thunderhawk and as the rest of them head into categories to rescue Gabrial (WTF AGAIN with jump back marine?!), as Cyrus and the two Marines (or Canon fodder) head to crash site an ork warboss and his mob sees them and argues with his lieutenants on killing space Marines screaming waaaaaaaaaaagh as the comic ends with "to be continued"
Its good, well written and good usage of the charactors, better than the game in someways, even though it had some errors
all in all good for a first time comic that has my favourite chapter
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR VIEW ON IT!

* Cover
Out off the four Covers (Cover A. Banshee jumping, Cover B. Banshee going "oh no"???, Cover C. Banshee attacking Blood Raven, and Cover D Gorgutz screaming with raised robo claw with bloodraven head/helmet in it.) i choose Cover C
information page
First page we land right into a retreading fire fight as Cyrus and two marines(one with flamer and gas-mask and the other a normal bolter gun dude) (with golden shoulder rims WTF!) rush to get to the Thunderhawk crash site and prepare to defend, as they run with bolter dude covering them flamer dude complains about running away from a fight, then Cyrus counter mans his b****ing with a story about a Giant called Ymir????. Cut to the other squad who are searching for Gab in the catacombs which now have turned into elder structures? WTF, a marine asks Tarkus about past fights and team-ups with the eldar which he replys saying "Its impossible to say, you can't predict the eldar theyre both long lived and long sighted. they don't look at the galaxy the same way we do, to the eldar we're just pieces on a regicide board for them to swat away before th game even begins" ( nice hint to the regicide game), thus marine response to this saying XENOS FILTH. A marine with a scanner then says that a huge heat signature is ahead (and suddently his back pack turns into a jump pack WT), as they rush forth a banshee watches from dark high position all sceepy like. Back to the Thunderhawk, Martellus has done a very nice job fixing the ship, as he walks around looking for parts of the ship to re-attach, he see's a power sword in a holy looking box, then Cyrus calls in over the radio tell him about them and the approuching ork attack and asking if the site is clear, Martellus graps the sword case and tells them its clear. Door goes boom as we cut back to the rescue squad as they enter a champer looking upon with horror to see Gab chained up arm by arm with lightning like chains, as they try to free him, heavy bolter marine his stapped from behind and dies (spear but then its a sword WTFE) as a eldar warlock appears and saying that they will die here. Back to the ship, Cyrus and the 2 marines arrive tells Martellus that the orks are on their way whilst he is fixing the ship, Martellus Jokes about a panel on the ship that keeps falling off, flamer marine tells him to stop joking around, Cyrus tells him they need to move the ship, Martellus says the ship is not going anywhere, Cyrus says there are hundreds of them, with Martellus replying whilst pulling out a plasma gun "is that all? pity" (OOOOOH YEEEEA!). Back to the chamber the battle commences with Oliverr attacking the warlock and the rocket launcher dude committing suicide with his rocket launcher taking out hordes of banshees that surrounded him. Cutting back to the ship our heroes have set up a barricade as the orks watch from a distance the, Warbass asks "dey see us?" just as an ork boy is shot in the head by Cyrus thus beginning the charge WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!..
In the chamber the battle turns for the worst as the warlock psychically attacks Olivarrs mind with visions of death of his comrades, then a marine interupts the psychic attack but is then elevated into the air and forced to shoot him self with his own bolter. The warlock then says that he knows Tarkus but then rambles on with confusing monologue ("I take no pleasure in exterminating your kind Tarkus being in your presence speaking your primitive language having your stench burn my nostrils none of this pleases me I had to be sure it was you I had to see you die with my own eyes you understand what am I saying of course you don’t eh well make Peace with your Emperor savage you die now" DAM KNIFE EARS MAKING NO SENSE!) as more elder enter, as Olivarr and Tarkus fight along killing many we zoom to Gab as the Giant story is retold to us, then just as the eldar close in Gab awakens, free's him self and stands with godsplitter at the ready! with all staring in shock!
very good, well written and lots of action, better than the game in somewaysagain, some errors and confusing moments
i can see the real charactors from the game say this awesome stuff
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR VIEW ON IT!

walkthrough the story + plus negative and possitive point outs
i forgot to mention each comic is drawn by a different artist, this one looks similar to DC comics
We return to were we left off, in the chamber with our chapter master Gab freed and about to bring the pain to the eldar who chained him up (for some reason??? someone any ideas why??)and save Tarkus and Olivarr!!!, we first see an eldar Guardian on his knees surrounded by dead Guardians, begging for "MERCY", Gab gives him a verbal and physical response "mercy?" hits him in the face + blasting the ground with godsplitter killing other eldar "there is no such thing" (wait dident gabrial show mercy in the past?? all well ) the fight begins again, the two sergeants attack the warlock with no luck and get knocked out, then both Gab and the warlock turn to each other being the only ones left, Gab with an angery face says "LORANEL"
Loranel gives an evil smirk saying "Gabriel" thus they do battle, back and forth but then Gab does a massive hammer smash to the floor = a big explosion. This cuts us to another big boom but on the surface to our rescue team defending the thunderhawk against the green tides, this big boom is caused by one of Cyrus's Remote Detonation Pack, though it kills many, kill one and two more takes its place, Cyrus and flamer dude talk about how they will not live through this with Cyrus disagreeing, then suddently a another big explosion kills more orks, they look to see Martellus has got the cannon working, then normal bolter gun dude shouts that the orks are flanking them and going around (YES THEIR RIMS ON THE SHOULDERS ARE BLACK that is how its down!) flamer dude gets on oit and throus a oil can and burns it making a wall of flame, but some orks make it through killing our flamer. We cut back to the underground, as Gab and the warlock have a stand off with the warlock with his sword near the head of knocked out Olivarr, Cyrus radios in reporting the situation, Gabriel deflects the his blade from killing the sergeant but the warlock escapes? Both sergeants gain consciousness, set off to chase the farseer........( oh ok ) whilst Gab heads off saying "someone has to rescue the rescue team" (lol). back to the battlefield, both our heros fight on, some Gretchin sneak around the hawk, but are crushed by "that" panel which falls off because of Martellus hitting the wall inside the ship (LOL). BUT THEN one of the ork lieutenants a mek boy slowly marches through the flames thanks to his shield, normal bolter gun dude trys shooting it but fails, Cyrus detonates another pack only to have the ork warboss walk through the smoke saying "dat da best you got oomie?" starting a melee fight with Cyrus "come and find out!" cut to a tunnel with our sergeants heading through, talking about how the chapter master can handle a army of green skins. Back to fight, the Mek boy has killed our normal bolter gun dude but then some orks are killed by a heat blast "who dat", its Martellus with his plaaaassssma..........(whys a plasma gun blasted looking like a melta gun blasted ) but then the gun over heats allowing the mek boy to send our tech marine flying backwards, but as he lands inside the hawk he graps the sword from before, at the same time at the front of the hawk Cyrus is flung back into the hawk as well, facing down the warboss wielding only his knife and a small panal door as a shield, both our heros fight on but it looks like this might be their end, then we cut to Gabriel looking over the battlefield as orks charge him as he smiles ready to kill THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
very good, well written and more action this time, better than the game in someways again, some errors and confusing moments

walkthrough the story + plus negative and positive point outs
We begin with an epic site (wait how did Gab get the ship so fast....never mind i don't care lets end this) Gab arrivng at the thunderhawk, surrounded by the green tide with an incapacitated Cyrus , the warboss and Gab charge at each other (BOSS FIGHT YEA!), the ork hits Gab at the chest stunning him, but he gets up grasps his hammer tight and kills the warboss with one powerful smash to his head (neck snap?!). The ork horde panics and shouts the "da boss he killed da boss" but then the ork mec boy steps forward saying "yoo mean da old boss", resulting in the horde shouting "yea new boss". As Cyrus rises and heads for the ship, the Mec boy and Gab charge each other, BUT THEN A MIGHTY POWER SWORD CUTS THE GREEN SKIN IN HALF, FOR IT IS Martellus! wounded but but still kicking, as he stumbles from his wounds saying hes here to save Gab, all of the orks scatter and retreat "DA BOSS DEY KILLED DA NEW BOSS LEG IIIIIIIIIIT!". Gab: "and here i am rescued congratulations Martellus now take a moment steady your self" Martellus sits down then asks why the orks flee as Gab explains why (they know why but this is for new comers so muh) has they watch the xenos flee whilst looking at our fallen flamer marine dude with many orks dead around him (RIP flamer dude). We then cut to Tarkus and Olivarr leaving the underground and walking across the quiet battleground searching for the warlock. As they walk they talk about how its Olivarrs first time seeing the chapter master in battle, talking about his battle against the greater daeman (DoW2R last mission against daemon prince lol nice), then well joke about indrick boreale (first its confuseing but then funny ok this is what they said Olivarr "who was the last commander you served with Thule?" Tarkus "boreale, ah indrick boreale. i can think of no other commander with such an inspiring voice. I served with him for a time. he was a good man despite, well" both smiling as he said this) then suddently the scanner detects huge movements up aheads, heading to a ridge they stare in amazment as orks and eldar do battle below with an Morkanaut and Wraithknight, but as they stare at the battle in seconds a warp spider squad attack them from behind slicing tarkuses bolter in half. As a spider staps him in the back and hits him at the leg forcing him to a knee, Tarkus crys out to Olivarr to promise him to find the warlock, but as Olivarr fights them off with his chainsword a life ending voice replys. "find me im right here FOOL" (swing!) Loranel chops his head off with one foul swing. As Tarkus watches in horror as his head rolls on the ground he stands grabs the hand of the spider who attacked him, rips his hand off kill him and faces down the warlock. Tarkus charges at him, grabbing his foot as he flys up to dodge, dragging them both down the cliff, as they land the ork titan sees them but being occupited with the wraith fires an rocket to deal with them instead. As Tarkus gains consciousness from the explosion he see's the head of Olivarr crawling onto his leg "Tarkuuuuussssssss" then sees all of the dead mairnes (who have died in this coimc) with Gabiral standing saying "you let him die tarkuuuuussss you let ussss all die (this seems very chaos'ie) "now it isss your turn mon-keigh"..."IMPOSTER" screams tarkus as he grabs the warlocks blade possing as Gabs hammer, throws him back and attacks him, but then the warlock tries to mind control him to kill him self with his own weapon, but as he picks up and puts the bolter pistol to his head he drops it "how how is this possible?" complains the foulish alien as tarkus grabs him by the vest and then remembers what gab said then saying "you desire to know my mind witch then by all means take A CLOSER LOOK!" and head butts the warlock to DEATH! (YEA!) As the xenos lies dead Tarkus looks up to see the Thunder hawk arrive as the ground burns away as lava quickly surfaces, the hawks front door opens with Gab standing grabbing Tarkus'es hand as he jumps aboard. As they fly away Gab asks for Olivarr, Tarkus says nothing loking down in shame "dam" says Gab "not just Olivarr, Banton, Agitan, Gaticus, Ramos and Theolestis too, what was the pint of it all Gab?"
Cyrus : "you will refer to him as chapter master by his proper----"
Gab : "its alright" (walks over to tarkus and places his hand on his shoulder)
he then asks him "how do we greet the dawn" thus Gab does a spirit lifting speech that gives tarkus his spirit back, we then cut to the outside watching as the thunderhawk exits the planet as we see the orks and eldar killing each other and then all being consume by the lava. FIN The end all done. THATS ALL FOLKS.
Comic: started good, ending was kind of anticlimactic but had a funny middle so muh.
The seris: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum it was ok it has its ups and downs more downs than ups but its better than the games story in some ways still left plot holes though, none of the original characters died thats good and some amazing actions scenes and quotes. yes it was a interesting comic seris and it has now been added to my chapters archives and records.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER GUARD IT WELL
BUT WHAT IS YOUR OPINION!!!
