I am amazed by the quality of this comic book and have the
privilege of asking the author whether gen-AI was used in its production, and
it was not!
I appreciate the human work and effort that are put into
making this happen. Page by page, I marvel at the graphic quality and engaging
story. I used to be an avid comic reader, graduating from the more static
black-and-white to color, realistic, and gorgeous rendering and painting work.
This certainly brings up a lot of nostalgic feelings for the art and actions, a
visual treat that is matched by a good story.
I like how the book starts by getting readers familiar with
the world and characters. Fantasy genre is usually not my preferred cup of tea
because it takes a real commitment to understanding the fantastical world,
which is something that I am not able to draw from everyday life comparisons.
It’s usually a struggle, especially in the beginning, when everything feels
foreign, with a plethora of names and magic to understand. So, this is a great
introduction, and readers soon embark into the story and learn about intriguing
characters (I like the crazy uncle), the setting, the quest, and the
possibility of upcoming future adventures.
For readers who like a good story, beautiful graphics, and
those who support human work, this is a book for you.
5 out of 5 stars
