Reviews

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Slaine, based on Celtic myth and Gaelic legend, is a series of wild adventures, each tale more outlandish than it's predecessor. Thrown into action and wasting little time on description, the tales are fast-paced and fun to follow. After all, why not show rather than simply tell, in a novel every bit as graphic as the genre will allow?

The art varies in this collection, with stories drawn by both Mike McMahon and Glenn Fabry. I prefer the detail in Fabry's work, for both greater expression and some nuance in side characters as they react to Slaine's actions. McMahon's art has a visceral, slashing motion to it that lends itself well to the wild young exile in his first adventures.

I'll definitely be on the watch for more Slaine, as I've only just begun to see what this wild, spike-haired berserker can do!
