What I really enjoy about this comic is that there is a lot of dialogue, that helps the story move along. Javro seems to make many connections as he is traveling through the cities. There are some maps, that help the reader figure out exactly where Javro is. I can see the world building coming and starting off strong. The art is pretty, its pretty unique, with everyone having elf ears. It also gives a great depiction of the action going on in this first issue. Read Full Review
