I finished reading volume 5 and Assassin's Creed: Dynasty is one of the best stories in the franchise, you don't need to know much Assassin's Creed to read this story, and it can be easily read by anyone.

The story follows the journey of Li E, an Hidden One (A warrior who acts in the shadows, for the freedom of the people) who single-handedly seeks to hunt down, An Lushan, and members of the Golden Turtle (a vicious group that plans to dominate China politically, and a branch of the Order of the Ancients, the first version of the Templars, featured in the games [Origins, Odyssey, ... Valhalla and Mirage).

The secondary characters are perfect, as well as Li E, who despite not expressing many emotions (after all, his brotherhood was killed) he still has a sense of humor and is extremely badass, making him a fantastic protagonist.

(Includes minor really minor spoilers)
Well if you like assassins creed games you'll probablly like this series. If you don't know them well you will probably like this one too. There is no need have any knowledge from the games, it'll just change the experience overall. Basically it's about a guy who loves to hide and kills people in the most cruesome way possible, trying to overthrow the currupt politicians, who also belongs to a secret organisation.

Story 6,5/10:
The Story, which there isn't really much of at this point, might be getting into something real good. It's warming me up for more and can't wait for the ... next volume. If you know the games it won't be something new or special so I'm a bit biases, which means I already know how the story will work out eventually. If u you don't have any knowledge of you might dive into something new to read. For now I leave it at it 6,5, which might change in the future - positivly speaking of curse.

Art 8,5/10:
The Art is simply said eye candy. Combined with the good panelstructure it reads itself like a well paced movie. Man just look at it yourself you will love it. The characterdesign fits the tone of the manga and seems more logically then the games made the assassins look like.

Character 5/10:
The Characters are no different then in the games, which is why I gave it a 5 for now. The protagnonist is mysteries and withdrawn, while for now antagonists are the total opposite. I can't really say much about it and hope that they will get more depth in the future what I truelly belive will happen, due to the good start of the series.

Enjoment 7/10:
The Enjoyment was a good surprise for me. I've read two other works of a assassins creed adapotion, which were not so good to be nice. This one is really faithful and might lead to a new experience of the genre. I recommend to give it a try for people who know and don't know the series.

Overall 6,5/10.
