I got the new Elfquest graphic novel, The Searcher in the Sword. Long-anticipated, it was the first new Wendy-and-Richard-only story in a long time.
I was pretty disappointed with it. The story felt unfinished, there were too many loose ties in a story that looked like it was meant to feel self-contained, and I found the art disappointing. I think something about the inking, or maybe Wendy's over-reliance on Photoshop to do her shading for her. The blurring effects, too. And, ugh, Most of all, the lack of detail was disappointing. I'd been anticipating this too much. I was a bit let down. It was still nice to have a new story, though. Expensive, but nice. |
