Things have gotten very bad, up the mountain. Very bad.
The Autumnlands #10 is a must read, as is the entire series for anyone who enjoys fantasy stories…and even for most who don't. This comic is unlike any other on the stands today and Busiek, Dewey and Bellaire are delivering masterful work with each issue. I want issue #11 in my hands right now, and you will too after you give this one a read. Read Full Review
In general, this was a really good issue. I got a kick out of the fact that the goatmen appear to be in Irish, in contrast to the English sheepmen. Ben Dewey's art is always a pleasure to look at, but the sheer number of creepy-crawlies and grotesqueries in this issue gives him a lot of fun things to draw. I'm going to be curious to see how they tie this all back together with the beasts in the cities, especially now that magic is coming back. Of course, Learoyd and Dusty have more pressing problems: the fight should be a fun one. Read Full Review

When you get right down to it, TA:TaC #10 is really good just like all the others. The story is going forward, and in this case, faster than normal. Awesome. But like with Wayward, I can only imagine that if you've made it this far, you're going to keep reading. This means that I'm giving this comic my big ol' stamp of approval and not reviewing any more of them. There's no point in drunkenly repeating myself over and over. Read Full Review
I find this comic increasingly difficult to describe to those who have never picked up an issue. For me it originally wasn't Busiek's name that got me to read issue #1, but rather Benjamin Dewey's art, which is remarkably unique, yet comfortably familiar. It's one of those comics that you kind of want to flip through first just to gaze at the art before you even read the story. After ten issues, I can confidently tell people that Autumnlands is like a 70s pulp Redwall with magic, some crazy weird sci-fi elements, and an R rating. So yeah, if you aren't reading it yet, and you like those things, do yourself a favor and pick up the first trade. Read Full Review
There are plenty of wrinkles dotting the read, but even the inclusion of a formidable new threat fails to match the easy engagement of the series' earlier issues. Read Full Review
