Kleefeld on Comics has published a very flattering review of Hereville. Here’s a sample:
The story is very well crafted. […] Indeed, even after Mirka’s competition with the troll begins, her foregone victory (it’s in the title, after all) comes about in a surprising manner. […]
The storytelling itself is very solid. In fact, there are a couple of particularly nice page and panel layouts. I especially liked Mirka’s leaving the town on page 26, and the start of her victory over the troll on page 51 which nicely echoes/bookends an early page in the story. Interestingly, Deutsch’s linework improves markedly over the course of the yarn.
There’s more, so please head over there to read the whole thing. (There aren’t any spoilers, but there are a couple of vague hints.)
(Oh, and remember, you can buy Hereville here.)
Well, maybe no spoilers, but I’m glad I didn’t know that [edited out by Amp] before reading it.
Is anyone giving it bad reviews? Because if they are, I hate them.
Only one negative response that I’ve seen so far! That wasn’t a formal review, though, just a comment someone wrote on some forum.
Point well taken about the bit I just edited out of both my post, and of your comment. :-)
