I rated this three stars because I want to read more fantasy comics and this helps scratch that itch, but if you don't have a similar unfulfilled jones you should probably subtract a star. The sense of characters' motivations is shaky, their speaking idioms waver between archaism and modernism, and the text is riddled with extra adjectives and fresh-minted compound words, all of which makes for awkward reading. But I get to look at pictures of elves and monsters and medeival-ish settings doing their thing. Some panels especially please me with their visuals: The bridge and ruins at the top of page 5, the top of page 8 where the clear linework and vivid coloring give the two elven settings a feeling of both solidity and magic, the depiction of magical energy at the bottom left of page 8, the well-constructed double-page brawl on page 14. I hope the writing improves because I expect to continue reading for at least another issue.
