Another sword and sorcery with small sci fi taster and I thought it was very apt that Comic XRays video yesterday looked at Wampus since one of the baddies in this book is a wampus -Hexagon has published its original Wampus book https://www.hexagoncomics.com/shop-wampus-1.html
The Isle of Doom uses some very vibrant colours at just the right points to great effect and, of course, it co-stars Futura who I first came across in the Strangers mini series published by Image Comics which, I ought to point out, has also been released as a collected series
https://www.hexagoncomics.com/shop-strangers-1-strangers-in-a-strange-land.html Seeing Futura in this was a bonus and, again, the book has more mature scenes.
Galaor's origin is fast paced enough but I think, for me, the all out winner in this book has to be Lagrid Princess of Mu. The art is great and the colour work cannot be faulted and is on a par with the quality you expect from Cinebook.
There is no question of the packaging and printing being anything but top quality and each story begins to fill in gaps and help build a universe that I hope is going to be around for a very long time to come. Recommended
