crowyhead's review
2.0
This is one of the more disappointing graphic novels from the recent crop at the library. The plot is like something out of a mediochre Dungeons & Dragons game, or one of the lesser Final Fantasy videogames -- total cliche. The artwork is vibrant, but most of the characters' facial expressions look the same. I was also somewhat bothered by the portrayal of women in the book; the only two female characters are a lady pirate and a female bounty hunter. The pirate is treated pretty well, even if she's all heaving bosom (and there's a pin-up included in the back of the book), but the female bounty hunter is all dominatrixy and scantily clad in a way that bothers me a little, since it's supposed to be an all-ages comic book.
