First review, yo!
Okay, so recently I read Far Arden by Kevin Cannon (p. by Top Shelf). I was lured in by it's eye-catching orange cover, with who I thought might be Where's Waldo's Canadian cousin running at me, sword in hand. Flipping through the comic in store, I was already sold just by Kevin Cannon's fun, effectively simple artwork. He's pretty awesome.
Smush Flapjack and (specifically) Lego Indiana Jones together and you can get basic 'feel' of this comic. It's very charming, non-stop fun, sometimes kinda scary, even really sad. Kevin Cannon is a great cartoonist and his humor is right up my alley. Far Arden's pages are filled with clever background gags and hilarious fight scenes, WTF moments and man-that-was-just-really-awesome hindsights.
But when I wasn't laughing (or at least smirking), I kinda felt like crying. And I'm no sap, but read it, you'll see! And--this might seem like a weird thing to point out--everything is wrapped up at the end. I mean, there are no "wait a second, what happened to..." moments. I really appreciate that, thanks Kevin Cannon!
