Chronin, Vol. 2: The Sword in Your Hand by Benjamin A. Wilgus
3.0
So, story: loved this, fascinating detail, and excellent characters. The ending was delightful, not something that I had expected at all.
My minus stars issue is that I struggle with blank and white line drawings in graphic novels. And this is one million percent my own personal problem. It takes some brain workings on each new panel or page to confirm which character is which. Each character has some distinguishing marks (hats, scars, hair style) but there were definite points at which I really had no idea who was talking. Some of that I got from context but not all the time.
Other than my issues with the characters and how they were drawn, I loved the rest of the artwork. The larger panels depicting the towns or nature were wonderful and were vivid enough, even in black and white, to really be able to envision the scene.
