I'll very happily give everyone my opinion.

I ordered my copy last week and recieved it before the weekend.

The inside cover of the comic contains a one-page summary giving the history of the world so far, and is an excelent introduction to the world of Glorantha from a Heortling perspective.

part one of the main story takes up most of the comic. It begins with events over a generation before the lives of the main characters, before introducing them as they arrive at Jonstown. There are some very nice visual effects employed in some scenes, such as de-focusing the backgrounds of some frames to highlight the foreground action. One frame is of a large room seen through a glass window. There is also a lovely birds-eye view of Jonstown. It looks gorgeous, with a look clearly influenced by the Asterix books, but still showing off the individual style of the artist(s) and with excelent attention to detail.

There is a short story at the back of the comic, which I assume will also be continued in the next issue. The artistic style is slightly different from that of the main story. Dialog in both stories is fairly sparse, but it is very easy to follow what is going on.

10 out of 10. I'm looking forward to the next issue.
