I really like some of the ideas here but not as much the execution. Sandorst is such a cartoonist bad guy as to be distracting
I didn't have high expectations for this, but it turned out to be a really good story. Looking forward to reading more.
A floating city falls down into the Autumnlands, where the inhabitants must face their mortal enemies.
The artwork is sleek and polished, and with the cast of characters being made up almost entirely of animal-faced-humanoids, it's a beautiful graphic novel. This is a bit of an odd one story-wise though.
The wizards have brought back a hero from long ago to try to restore magic to their world. These wizards are made up of warthogs, owls, giraffes, cats and the like. The hero shows up as a human, something none of them have ever seen before.
This is where I kind of fell out of love with the story.
The "good guys" seemed a bit foolish.
The "bad guys" seemed to make some good points.
The enemy just seemed mistreated and kind of enslaved.
The hero showed up swearing in every other sentence, which could have been funny but it sort of just messed with the vibe created by the first 50 pages of the book.
I would have loved to see more of Dunstan, the first character we're introduced to in the book, but he takes on a bit of an observant background role in this volume.
3. 5 stars.

An interesting concept. Intrigued to see how the story develops in the next book.
There's a 70s heroic fantasy vibe to this series, with plenty of unique world building to make it fresh. I love the art, the horrible hero, and the anthropomorphic gentlebeings populating the story.
Very strange (especially certain anatomical choices in the artwork...), but found myself more invested toward the end.
