Anyone checked this series out? It started this year in March, written by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Lost, Ex Machina, etc.) and illustrated by Fiona Staples. It has consistently gotten love from critics and is on basically every Top 10 Comic or Graphic Novel list for 2012. IGN said it was the best new series.
Vaughan described it as "Star Wars meets Game of Thrones" and critics say it's evocative of LotR and Romeo and Juliet. And from what I read on the Amazon preview of the graphic novel collecting issues 1-6, that's about right. Very mature and well written with some amazing art.
Anyone looked into it? I'm really close to buying the first volume. These kind of comic book series are very refreshing and really the only ones that interest me anymore. I think they bring a lot more to the table than superhero ones.
About Frox: for nearly 10 years, Frox has been helping women look good and feel great in easy-fit, mix-and-match, and work-to-weekend with just a few pieces by helping them make the right choices when it comes to clothing and accessories.
I read the first 3 issues. I didn't like it as much as I hoped. Its clearly a high quality book, but it just wasn't doing it for me for some reason. I would agree with Vaughan's pitch. Its got a Romeo and Juliet forbidden love thing mashed up with Game of Thrones style political intrigue and Star Wars style epic fantasy universe.
You might enjoy it. Its got alot of good things about it. I'm not sure why I didn't relate to it, just personal I guess. It seemed pretty good, I just wasn't interested for some reason.

Gotcha. I'll pick up the paperback and try it, I guess. I'll pay the $10 even if it's just for looking at the art in case I totally hate the story. It's got really pretty pictures.
