Okay, first off, the individuals listed above were done so in the order in which their stories were placed in the anthology, subdivided by the type of work they contributed. No offense was implied towards any person who might have been placed incorrectly in this review. There, I’ve been about as politically correct as I can be. All characters are based upon the work of Robert E. Howard. This is, after all, Robert E. Howard’s Savage Sword, Volume 1.

Back in May, Bethesda Softworks unveiled the amazing Collector’s Edition they would be putting out for Fallout: New Vegas (Read: Behold: Bethesda To Release Awesome “˜Fallout: New Vegas’ Collector’s Edition), and while the special package will run a little pricey (feel free to buy it for me…please?), those who can afford it will find themselves in possession of something all Fallout fanatics will want.

One of the items included in the Collector’s Edition is a special graphic novel titled Fallout: New Vegas – All Roads, which is created by the game’s senior designer, Chris Avellone, along with Dark Horse Comics to add a little more story to the mix. The graphic novel introduces us to the town of New Vegas, one of the few places left in the world that is still operational, and the many groups battling to the death in hopes of ruling the post-apocalyptic kingdom.

To help convince people the Collector’s Edition with graphic novel is worth picking up, a preview has been released on iTunes, and as an app on your iPhone or iPad. You can check it out and look more into it by heading to the Apple iTunes Preview page.
