I bought the first issue at dtrpg.

Honestly, it didn't do much for me. Art was nice, but I found the story not too enthusing.

Marvel is now distributing it and I'm hooked on it. It's not as good as the one-shot Eberron comic that Keith Baker did for Devil's Due, but it's entertaining nonetheless. Worth the money, imo.

I bought the second issue a week or so ago (couldn't find the first at my regular comic shop). I generally make it a habit to always pick up at least one issue of any fantasy-related comic, for various reasons (supporting the industry, personal research, potential entertainment).

I have to echo Psion's thoughts, sadly. The issue didn't really wow me, so I don't think I'll be picking any more of them up. The characters were kind of bland, the artwork was only so-so. I think it has some potential, but it just didn't grab me enough to continue.

If I get a chance, I'll post a more thorough review later tonight.
