The point of the story is not the final goal but the journey to get there. It doesn't matter if Canto succeeded at the Emerald Tower or not. Simply the act of trying his best pushed his movement forward. Read Full Review
Its fairly obvious that Ive enjoyed this run immensely so the news that Cantos journeys will resume has made me a distinctly happy chappy. I spoke of the subversion of expectation before with Canto and Im pleased that this never let up. I love when you feel that pull from a comic, having the power to move you in ways you didnt expect. Im not ashamed to say that I was welling up towards the end and honestly think this is one of those stories that youll be able to return to time and again. Read Full Review

Canto #6 is a great ending to this series. It ends the story in a surprising, touching way and the tag line "Part Fantasy. Part Adventure. All Heart" has never been truer than at the end. The creative team has done an exceptional job with this all-ages story. This is how you do an all-ages comic book! It has got action, adventure and an emotional story that doesn't talk down to its readers, nor is it afraid to get a little dark and grim at times. Read Full Review

A fantasy/adventure series about little knights with hearts of clocks. Already bought me with the summary.

The comic may not give you everything about this universe, but it doesn't need to in order for this series to pop off.
Love the art and colors, really attracts readers without skipping a page. And even though it is a fantasy comic, it was still really creative in its world. I mean clocks for hearts? Th more
