Camille & Kennerly, tuntud ka kui "Harp Twins" on identsed kaksikud, kes - nagu nimigi ütleb - mängivad harfi.

Olles kognud YouTubes erinevate (metal) kaveritega populaarsust, jõudsid tüdrukud nuud ka oma koomiksi välja andmiseni.

Fänninännina on "Legend of the Shaders" igati asjakohane. Eraldiseisva koomiksina jääb ta aga nõrgaks - lugu on lakooniline. Ühest küljest arenevad sündmused liiga kiiresti, teisalt aga ei juhtu suurt mitte midagi. 24 lehekülge on muidugi ka ääretult väike maht, eks sinna midagi sügavamat mahutada ongi keeruline.

Samas potentsiaali on - ehk on oodata ka järge ja harfikaksikute saagast kujuneb midagi põnevamat. Esimene koomiks jätab igatahes kõik võimalused õhku.

Cute characters and fantastic setting. I would have liked to see more adventure and plot develop in this volume. I'm left on a cliff hanger because there isn't another volume to continue the story.
