Václav's Reviews > The Last Battle

(3,9 of 5 for a nice ancient Rome/Gauls action story)
This quite short story is probably better than the current poor rating on Goodreads, even if I will with my "feel" star rating add to it. One side is the art of Dan Brereton, which is great. I can imagine there will be few who would like the richness and intensity of it, but I like it.
The other side is Tito Faraci because it looks like "once Disney guy, always Disney guy". At least a bit. And we know what Disney can do to the good lore or the depiction of history. And, "by Odin", if Faraci really tries, it still feels off. History aside - it is a great fantasy adventure/story? Either no. The comics land something like 80-ish pages and even if trying best, it still leads to shortcuts and simplifications and even if the idea and atmosphere so far are great, it eventually comes out as dull. Do I like the comics? I do, and if you like Dan's art, don't hold on to history and are willing to accept the limits that a story with nice potential can manage on way fewer pages, then you will too.
