    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Sep 19, 2024

    Yes: there IS the feeling of an early 1980s feature in Heavy Metal Magazine, but theres more here than just that. The sheer brutality of some of the visuals and the raw nature of emotion on the page allow the series to once again transcend the un-engaging density so common found in high fantasy. Its fascinating stuff to see echoed on the contemporary comics page having been committed to film decades ago. Theres a kind of timelessness about it that carries a feeling every bit as fresh now as it did back in the early 1980s when it debuted on the movie screen. Theres a deep pulse to the action that continues to maintain quite a bit of momentum as the series progresses.  Read Full Review

    FIRE AND ICE #3 is a banger of classic fantasy action from start to finish. The ten-month hiatus between issues is a bummer, but Bill Willingham didn't miss a step, and Leonardo Manco took full advantage of the extra time to craft a gorgeous-looking comic. Read Full Review

    Stunningly gorgeous art, that's the first thing that leaps out at you in this comic. The plot and writing is standard dark fantasy fare, and it's well done so if that's your thing you'll love this. Or if you just like looking at pretty pictures, because this book is by far the most well illustrated book I've seen in a long time. The style is a mix of Frazetta and Linsner, which is appropriate given the subject and cover artist. Many books have a really pretty cover drawn or painted by a top tier artist like Linsner, Frazetta, Parrillo, etc, but none have interiors to match the cover like this book does. Any page could be a cover or a poster. I'm sure I'll flip through a few more times just to admire the art, now that I've read the com more

    The artwork and details in the world-building are astonishing. The battle scenes are worth taking several minutes to take in all of the dynamic figures. The ending was great and I enjoyed the fact that you weren't sure if the queen was able to successfully pull off the spell. The white-haired warrior - is she the fire queen? It alludes to that, but she looks really young. Good fantasy stuff.
