With well-thought-out drawings and engaging content inspired by Vietnamese beliefs and culture, Four Palaces of the Dead promises to bring to Vietnamese readers a monumental series not inferior to Japanese or Chinese comics. .
In 2014, the comic series Long Than Generals, after being released, immediately resonated with high appreciation for its image quality and content. Long Than Tuong is cherished based on the comic work of the duo Thanh Phong and Khanh Duong more than 10 years ago, which has been published many times in a comic magazine. After that, the team of authors developed and was first published in November 2014 as a crowdfunding. The most successful fundraising work at that time with more than 330 million. The media perceived the work to have attractive content, blending tradition and modernity. In January 2016, Long Than General was awarded the 9th International Manga Award by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, one of the most prestigious comic awards in the world.
Will there be any works that can surpass Long Than General in the near future? We still do not have a definite answer to this question. However, there is a comic series that is also gradually becoming a “phenomenon” in the Vietnamese comic village, which is the Four Palaces.
Four Palaces is made by Rover studio, the story belongs to the fantasy action genre inspired by Dao Mother beliefs, cultural materials, and Vietnamese history, with the aim of introducing and arousing the curiosity of the audience. readers about the spiritual culture of the country. The series revolves around Long – a high school student who is always bullied and has a negative view of fate and the world. His life and ideas are turned upside down after encountering a Judge and being hunted by demons afterwards.
Face image: It seems that the Rover studio author team takes great care of their brainchild in terms of images. We will easily see the “mindful” drawings, the details are meticulously cared for. If all Vietnamese are deleted, perhaps many comic book enthusiasts will “mistake” this as a Japanese manga.
In terms of content: As mentioned above, the action fantasy series is inspired by the Mother religion, cultural material, and Vietnamese history. This is a very novel and quite interesting topic. You know that Vietnamese culture and history have so many unique features, if there is enough potential to exploit and transform these into excellent products, success is almost within reach. However, taking religious inspiration also poses a lot of challenges for the authors about having to thoroughly and systematically learn how to best understand it.
The series still has minus points such as the description of the character’s psychological circuit is still incomplete, especially the main character. The dialogue is still quite confusing, the pictures are not “even”. However, these are fixable things. And hopefully the next chapters we will receive better quality chapters than the previous one.
