The CovenantReview by Larry Stanley
Veteran director Renny Harlin would have been much better off to do this story
with the special effects then the one he did instead.
I mean, the theatrical version was actually pretty good. I liked the story (in
fact, read the review at http://www.penguincomics.net/Movies_Mainstream/movie_main.htm
and just click on The Covenant) but this story was somewhat more interesting
and I found the characters to be a great deal more believable.
Once more it is the story of four little pretty boys with supernatural powers
but from there it diverges into something much better then what we saw on the
big screen.
It's fun time in the summertime four 13 year old friends Caleb, Pogue, Reid
and Miller's at good ol' Camp Iwahanee.
But for these kids it will be more then rafting, smores and talking about girls.
These kids are the next in line to become the most powerful Warlocks in the
world, the Covenant. They learn about who they are, where they come from and
how to start using their unlimited powers. The problem is, they are 13-year-old
boys with unlimited powers; and as such, something is bound to go wrong.
Now four years later, when an evil force stalks the Camp, the boys fear that
the mistakes of childhood have come back to kill them.
Returning to Camp Iwahanee intent on solving the killings and terror, the Covenant
must learn to trust each other and to work together and to overcome their own
feelings of guilt at what they may have created.
Featuring the debut of new Top Cow team-up of Tone Rodriguez and Aron Coleite who also writes for NBC's series Crossing Jordan and Top Cow's new V.I.C.E. and the beauty of the book shows as they combine their abilities to create an excellent story.
