If you are looking for something new and unique this week on New Comic Book Day, I honestly say that Quest #1 from Image Comics is a solid choice. Beautiful artwork and a wonderful story combine into a fine new addition to the Image Comics lineup. Read Full Review
A good blend of world-building and character moments sets off a classic hero's journey, but the breaking point of this issue's script feels a bit too early. It's another example where a double-sized debut issue would have been more satisfying to read. Read Full Review
Luna and Wood might be moving the story along in a way that feels a little awkward at the outset. However, it feels like things could really ramp up and become more intriguing. Once the story moves out beyond the palace. The nobility of the princess will be contrasted against the rest of the world in which she's adventuring. That's going to add a great deal of momentum to things. The Southeast Asian atmosphere should be a pleasant and fascinating contrast against all of the European-based fantasy adventure stories that dominate the comics rack. Read Full Review
The book clearly has some big narrative ambitions to the point that it might be able to work around its visual weaknesses, but it's a mighty hurdle to climb. Read Full Review
You wish this quest's worst feature were just giant monsters and gnarly volcanoes. Read Full Review
