Artwork shows its late-70s origins. Standard plot, well told - some laugh out loud cheesy dialogue. Great time capsule.

This is a wonderful return to a series I read when I was in my twenties. Like me, Cutter and crew have gotten older and a new generation is rising up. It's a fun book with Wendy Pini's lush illustrations.

2018 Spring:

I did a reread of the entire last series for the ending of the main arc of Elfquest (aka Cutter, The Kinseeker's story). I still love it so very much and I love taking part in the community this time while doing it. Finding all the shoutouts to Dreamtime and to previous moments in the series across all the decades: right up to solving mysteries of the future comic connections.

2015:
I love that there is a new long running series for Elfquest even if it turns out to be the well-plotted ending to this series I have loved since I was five. I read the last 12 issues in one swoop again this week, so I'll be using the same review for both of these volumes as I put them up today.

I love that the love triangle between Ember-Mender-Teir has finally been resolved on all three parts, in a good way. I love seeing the children of everyone, both human and elven. I love seeing the many different paths people are beginning to take, especially Moonshade, Sunstream, Rayek, Two-Edge. A lot of things interest me and I was definitely shocked myself, too, by the big reveal at the end of this 12 issues, and I can't wait to see where this goes -- For Cutter and for "The Way."
