  Gears and Bones #1 is a fun, fantasy adventure set in a rich, colorful world with some very interesting characters. Did I mention it has a really neat premise as well? William Thomas and Andrew Anderson tease out this expansive world, but also effectively introduce a strong protagonist and a number of interesting antagonists that have a rich history together. If you need some fantasy to add to your comics, I definitely recommend this book. Read Full Review

The entire feel of this comic makes readers believe that the story is happy where it is and doesn't need to aim higher, believing it's fine where it is. Sadly, that's just not the case. The world is beautiful with incredible features and compelling lore, but the characters the comic follows are something that crawled off an air-brushed panel van from the 70s, and are exactly as two-dimensional. There's a lot of good stuff inGears and Bones, sadly, it's stuck behind pure testosterone. Read Full Review
