Mark L. Miller

i’m gonna level with you guys, after the first few stories i started skimming these unless a story looked good while i was skimming it and then i’d go back & read more carefully. there were only a few stories i had to do this with, and those were excellent, but the vast majority of these just aren’t that great. so basically i’d skim them and stop when i got to some hot bondage/torture stuff happening and then go back to skimming once that was over.

and like. there is some very hot show more bondage/torture stuff in this, like wow. some of it is exactly what i was looking for in the first two movies and just never quite got. it’s a whole lot more upfront bdsmy. i really hope the later movies are more like that.

also be warned, there are some fucked up politics in these comics. like that’s not the most surprising thing ever, but it still feels worth mentioning.

but yeah, like i said, hot/extremely fucked up bondage stuff. you know, just the thing i’ve been looking for out of this franchise all along. so. that’s nice. show less

Oddly, I found this story to be a step up from the first volume, with a more interesting and personal plotline. Unfortunately, the art is in exchange much more sloppy (though on the pages when it is done well, I should mention I actually prefer this style to that in the first volume), for instance with tigers that in some panels look like dogs and badgers, and more often than not are entirely without stripes. Still, the notion of four human children each raised by a tribe of warring animals show more that lies at the heart of this comic is still one with a lot of childlike fun to it, and I find myself a bit intrigued about maybe some day tracking down the third volume and see if there's any closure to the story there. show less

Miller brings the classic to life with a new vivality. The plot remains true, yet more relatable. Changes only add to the story, rather than disappointing. The artwork is bright and beautiful, serving to bring the jungle to life with a wave of color on every page--one can truly imagine oneself in the book. A beautiful read for both fans of the original and newcomers to the story.
