I strongly disliked how the writer talked about one of the characters in the "making of" notes at the end which makes me give this a lower rating. I don't trust the writer with the characters now and will not continue reading the comics.

This was fantastic. I'm so glad I picked it up at NYCC. It's an awesome world with a fantastic story, I'm excited for more Beastlands and can't wait for Vol 2

Enjoyed the artwork. The plot felt a little rushed. The story would have benefitted with more exploration of the character's backgrounds and their relationships to each other.

Wow, they really throw everything at you on page 1. I was expecting a bit more info about the missing father they were searching for, but it was just all about the grieving king going mad and murdering innocent creatures and executing the literal children that try to free them.
The art is wonderful, and I love the detail that goes into the animal creation. The story moves incredibly fast, almost a little too fast. I’m hoping we learn more this mysterious missing father.

Wonderful story, wonderfully illustrated. Fantasy, but without feeling like fantasy….if that makes any sense. I’m very excited to continue reading this series.

Really interesting story idea with nice art. However, the first volume in this series was just not that engaging.

Great art, interesting narrative. Seems violent for middle grade readers so even though the characters are middle grade age, I'd consider this to be a YA read. Villain does seem a bit simplistic though.

Stunning artwork, great concepts/ideas, but the execution wasn't too great. It didn't help that the action dominated and there wasn't enough exposition/world-building as a result.
