A maginificent comic, both visually and plot-wise. Geoff Darrow's art is amazing, full of little details. One can get lost looking at those pages (especially the splash ones) and everything is very evocative. I just got pulled inside the book. The story itself is very well done. Even though I haven't read the first tomo (can't find it anywhere) I had no trouble picking up the story little by little. There was no info-dump, no unecessary explanations. The story, dialogues and art worked in perfect harmony and the result was stunning.
I'd give this comic a perfect 5 star if it wasn't for one thing: a jump in the action that happens close to the end. I just felt like there was something missing there. Aside from that, this comic is superb and I only wish I'd read the first tomo.
Otro trabajado manjar visual que me entretuvo la media hora de viaje justa que necesitaba para distraerme hasta llegar a casa. En algún momento volveré a perderme en sus páginas, lupa en mano, para deleitarme con los mil y un detallitos que hay en cada una de las varias splash-pages. Y en otros veinte minutos más ya me termino la serie :)
