Parliament of Rooks #1: Spring by Richard Starkings, Abigail Jill Harding
3.0
Impressive, but not yet compelling.
As opening acts go, Parliament of Rooks is fine. The art is beautiful. The narrative format is interesting, but the characters fail to shine here especially when stacked against the overall problem that comes to light.
I wanted to be dragged by the nose into issue #2, but I was left wondering if I cared enough to proceed. Perhaps I will one day, but mostly because the art is so incredibly gothic and haunting.
