I like the breaking up of the review. The art does look impressive, and I like stories that know how to have and prioritize properly emotional moments. Not familiar with Irish mythology so I'll likely learn quite a bit from the faithfulness review.

Excellent, thorough review! The art itself looks quite lovely, though I'm not sure how I feel about it only being in black, white, and red. Gives me callbacks to Dynamite Comics' Red Sonja. I feel like since this is an Irish myth there should be a lot more color, like emerald green for the landscape and bright cerulean for the sky. Ireland is colorful and lush! Feels like a missed opportunity, especially since it sounds like this adaptation is marketed towards a younger audience.

Sorry, rambled there for a bit. Other than my gripe with the color scheme, I'm really digging the art style and am curious to check this out for myself. Next time I'm down in Milwaukie I'll head into Dark Horse Comics and see if I can pick up a copy. I always love seeing reviews of obscure books/media, these creators deserve a chance of recognition. Looking forward to seeing your scholarly analysis of the tale!
