I picked this book up without reading any previous Arrowsmith books and must admit, I was slightly perplexed as to the backstory. But this did not detract from my enjoyment of the book in the slightest. It's a fascinating take on an alternate history and the Great War. And add into that magic, dragons and mythical beings and this a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline from Kurt Busiek and will be looking to pick up the back issues so that I can explore this series more. Fans of adventure, magic and alternate universes will thoroughly enjoy this title. Read Full Review

It has me not only looking forward to what's to come but also wanting to go back and see what has already been released. Read Full Review

The most interesting aspect of the comic is the discrimination that the troll faces at the bar. This is an interesting world, it's very similar to our own but slightly askew.
