Head Lopper, Vol. 1: The Island or A Plague of Beasts by Andrew MacLean

mkhare's review against another edition

4.0

Fantastic art, character design and colour, as well as fun and dynamic paneling and fight scenes. The story was good but not incredibly engaging or deep, and I wish there was more character development (hopefully more will be revealed of Norgal and Agatha's backstory in issues to come). Overall, I would rate this 3.5 stars, and I do plan to read more!

Haven't laughed like that in a long time. Agatha is such a mood

I can't believe the library had this, and am horribly disappointed they don't have more by Andrew MacLean.

The art is freaking fantastic.

5.0

A great original new series. Interesting characters, good dialogue, compelling art, and a well-paced story. I'm excited to get on to volume 2.

Updated review: holds up and then some. Even better than the 5-star experience I remembered. The only criticism I can think to give is, sometimes the spreads have subject matter a little obscured by the dead space in the center created by the seam, which is probably exacerbated going from floppy issues to a bound graphic novel.

Great, great volume.
