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 deep pulse to the action that continues to maintain quite a bit of momentum as the series progresses. Read Full Review
