After I finished the first part of this adaptation, I started watching the new BBC series, and then read a review/article/something that opened my eyes to the fact that a lot of people were shown without daemons. For TV this kind of makes sense, because that's a lot of budget/work for animals that will only be on screen for a little bit. There's no excuse here (I want to see the Samoyed daemons! I want crowded panels full of daemons and people!), and the coloring was inconsistent (in one panel the brunette Mrs. Coulter has blonde hair, for example).
And they're SO SHORT. Maybe I'll wait for the omnibus, but I won't be holding my breath.
The design of Iorek's armor is very naturalistic and realistic, at least.

Lyra's adventure continues as she sets out to rescue her father, her best friend, many other children with the aid of an armored bear, witches, and other allies.
super nice art as usual. makes me wanna reread the novel
