Elfquest #11
Legacy
Rite of passage for a young elf girl.
The Wolfrider tribe has split in two. One group, led by chief Cutter, must face the ruthless Grohmul Djun to win back the crystal shards of the shattered Palace of the High Ones. The other, insurance against the grim possibility that Cutter's warriors may die, is led by Ember, daughter of a chief and now a leader in her own right.
But is she up to the task? As she takes her band further and further from the lands they've known, she must prevail not only against the hazards of blind Nature, but also against creatures not of the natural worlds - monstrous minions of the evil Winnowill!
(This volume reprints issues 16-22 of the Hidden Years series.)

I have some of these individual issues, but I think I'm missing a few. I don't remember if I've read the ones I do have. At this point, for the Great ElfQuest Read of 2025, I'm reading them on ElfQuest.com (where just about every issue of EQ is available to read, for free!).
I am enjoying Ember's chieftess arc for the most part, although the art isn't my favorite. Once in a while there is a panel that is downright *bad* and that pulls me out of the story. The start of the holt-seeking quest sort of feels like filler, or X-Files monsters of the week. Once Howling Rock is found and Teir shows up I was much more interested, and I want to see where this goes.

Part of my great ElfQuest reread. So far I think this is the weakest of the bunch, you could really see the growing pains with new artists and authors struggling to find their footing.
