 After reading God of War # 1 , Joe Juba of Game Informer said " If you have a choice between reading this comic and doing something else , you should do something else ... like play God of War III again . " He said that the story adds nothing of value and it is rough . Despite being written by Marv Wolfman , he said the story does not satisfy fans of the video game series : " I didn 't think the story made much sense , and it doesn 't contribute to the overall lore of the universe ; it just seems to be setting Kratos up for another fetch @-@ quest . " He also felt that the writing was exceptionally low in quality . Comic Vine said , " The idea here screams comic books , " however , the " results were a mixed offering . " The reviewer stated that the idea of Kratos finding the Ambrosia to save Calliope was a " perfect comic book incentive , " however , things started to disintegrate when the distinction between the present and the past became unclear . A four out of five star review from Binary Messiah praised the comic series , saying that it could be made into a full game : " That 's one freaking awesome story . That right there is a premise to a whole new God of War game . " They said that it " does a good job showing the hot headedness of Kratos and his selfishness . " Saying that the comics do the video game series justice , for fans of God of War , this should be in their comic collection .
