I’m a sucker for Arthurian adaptations and found this to be pure fun!
Great representation all around. Fun, campy good times. The best I can describe it is Arthurian legend meets Buffy meets Paper Girls. The art feels like a pulp-y throwback and while the story/pacing isn’t perfect, I think given more time it would’ve found its footing. But unfortunately this looks to be the only volume.
Couple details I particularly loved: magical weapons as tattoos! Merlin’s confusion about what human fashion is appropriate feels like a nod to the end of the Disney’s Sword in the Stone, which I love forever. Glad I read this.
