I've been an avid fan of Elfquest since a friend lent me book 1, back in 1988. These are not "cute little Elves dancing in the woods" stories, but well written and illustrated comics/graphic stories about characters we come to know, and care about.
Although it had been published in 2005, I had not read "The Searcher and the Sword" until this week, after discovering it was available for reading online. So I jumped right into the story, looking forward to another foray into the World of Two Moons.
I enjoyed being back with Cutter and his tribe, but it just wasn't as exciting or engaging as other works by Wendy Pini. Something wasn't the same.
Worth reading, but not on my Wishlist.
