Jump back into the world of Edward Kenway, lead character of the best-selling fan favorite game, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, in this beautiful manga adaptation. Return to the Golden Age of Pirates is this swashbuckling adventure set in the time period featured in the hit Ubisoft video game Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag!

The first thing to notice of course is the awesome Manga style of the comics, but also exciting is the fact that this is based on Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Personally, this is one of my favourite games in the series, and could very well be the best. To see it in comic form is interesting because if it continues the story of Edward Kenway we get to see what he got up to after we left him at the completion of the game.
