I Couldn't Ask For Any More From a Comic

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

I always am suspicious of five star reviews.
Not all of them are from shills or fanboys, but too often some are, and every time I read “This is the best thing I ever read” I suspect the writer needs to read more.

Having said that, I loved this book. The artwork is phenomenal and evokes the feel of the adventure literature and boy’s stories of the past, and the writing calls attention to fantasy and sci-fi tropes and turns them upside down.

I couldn’t ask for any more from a comic, so I have to give the highest rating. It deserves it.

Dunstan & The Champion's journey continues

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This part of the story veers off onto a tangent but it still pretty awesome. Dunstan & The Champion pair very well together. Busiek continues to incorporate humor, action, drama and a whole lot of mystery into the story that makes this one a page turner. Ben Dewey's art is tremendous! A truly original concept and I hope they return to finish it one day.

The Dying Earth meets Kamandi

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Why should you be reading The Autumnlands? For one, the art is gorgeous. I’ve got copies of the new Darth Vader comics, Ms. Marvel, Rat Queens, Saga, The Walking Dead sitting on my bookshelf. Only Saga has artwork that even comes close to that in The Autumnlands. It’s detailed, beautifully drawn, wildly inventive, and richly colored. Nobody draws animals like Dewey. In addition to the normal panels, the issues are interspersed with two-page spreads more evocative of paintings (more on those in a bit).

Why am I talking about The Autumnlands here? What if I told you that it is billed as “Game of Thrones meets Kamandi”? Wait, wait! We’re all adults here, right? (Right? I had better watch my language.) We know what this is. It’s marketing. Busiek himself points to Jack Vance’s Dying Earth stories as a major influence. But you can’t sell it as The Dying Earth meets Kamandi, because “many of the potential readers would respond to ‘Jack Vance’ with ‘Huh? Who?’” Busiek points to Conan, too, if you’re not sold yet.

The Autumnlands has so much of what I loved about Vance and his ilk. The mix of science fiction and fantasy, the sense that it takes place both “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” and in our own distant future. As I described Volume 1, “it’s old school, pulpy stuff: walking, talking animals, magic, floating cities and airships, walking chairs, gigantic winged insects as mounts, and a time-traveler from the past with scifi implants.”

A quick rundown on the story from Volume 1 (with the obvious caveats regarding spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them to a minimum). The “Autumnlands” is a land of animal-men, everything from bull terriers to warthogs to owls to bison. There is an underclass who lives on the ground, but the aristocrats live on floating cities. Including the sorcerers. Who have a problem. Their magic is fading. They attempt to revive it by reaching back into time and pulling forward the mythical “Champion.” There is a lot of debate over just what sort of creature the Champion is. Dog? Bird? Bear? Nobody expected a human.

Volume 2 makes clear that this is Dusty and Learoyd’s story, not that of the floating city. Dusty is a bull terrier pup, and the newly orphaned son of a rich merchant. Learoyd is the champion. The dynamic between the two really works. Dusty is the earnest, callow youth, ready for a Hero’s Journey. He is also available to provide info dumps as necessary. Learoyd is the hard-bitten, reluctant hero. He’s a soldier. He doesn’t have any loyalties in his new world, he’s a mercenary. He’s also basically a sci fi special forces operator. The people of this world haven’t seen anything like him. But he also left his entire world behind, including a family.

Volume 2 starts to pull back the layers on the world of the Autumnlands. It wasn’t always called that. And it isn’t just populated by animal-men. We for the first time see humans other than Learoyd. Dewey would get along with Frazetta. Although they might argue over beers the relative feminine merits of the northern and southern hemispheres. (The Autumnlands is not terribly family-friendly.) I’m kind of disappointed that we left the floating city story, but I’m loving the slow reveal of the world.

About those two-page spreads. They’re another attempt to evoke the pulp spirit. The titles, each different, are in a style from mid-century slicks, but the prose excerpts are pure pulp. Each tells a kernel of the story from the perspective of a writer from some time in the future of the main story timeline. It’s another nice touch.

We need more graphic novels like this.

Definitely not a kid's comic book, safe to say Graphic Novel. No idea where it's going to go next with story, but artwork and humor balance out the blood and violence. Usually.

Fantasy comic collection about magic continues with more adventures

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017

The anthromorphic animal races practising magic find that it’s fading and the Great Champion who, it turns out, is a human called Stephen T Learoyd and Dusty, an anthromorphic dog and apprentice magician, are on a quest to find out what is going on: they encounter many strange creatures. We discover the origins of this world and of the problems facing it.

Nicely illustrated and written, it flows well and engages the reader. A good read and recommended but a little long-winded in my opinion. A third volume will follow.

An enjoyable fantasy picaresque

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

I found this volume of The Autumnlands engaging but a profound shift seemingly from the plot of the first volume. Busiek has Leonyrd and Dusty go on more of a picaresque adventure encountering various different forces through the journey. Yet it is slow in unfolding and seemingly meandering, but as a fantasy adventure there is precedent for such a structure. Dewey's art Bellaire's color work are crucial: both fresh but invokes the feel of classic fantasy comics. Leonyrd and Dusty both develop as characters and Leonyard becomes more likeable. The nudity and adult subplots didn't feel crucial to the story but they were not gratuitous or merely salacious either. Enjoyable if you don't mind a somewhat digressive fantasy character study.

Tuve que comprar esta novela para saber qué seguía del primer volúmen y, tenía la idea que acabaría la historia, sin embargo, aún está inconclusa y falta mucho por contar.
En este vol. 2 aprendemos un poco más de qué pasó con la magia y el mundo en general, en la aventura de Dusty y Learoyd y algunos nuevos personajes de todo tipo. ¡¡Necesito el volúmen 3!!
