Review of 'Legend of Luther Arkwright' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Well, I was not expecting another Luther Arkwright story in 2022. That, at least, was a pleasant surprise.
This was a very strong piece. Almost a standalone, even though it briefly recounts the earlier stories, but definitely stronger for having the context.
Largely, this is a tale about good and bad and the fruit that grows from bad. There is a lot to unpack in this and I doubt I followed it all in this first read. However, that's what re-reads are for.
The artwork is back to black and white and is more in style with the dense work of 'Adventures' as opposed to the clean line and colour work of 'Heart'. Much more to my preference.
Just wonderful stuff, as good as comics can be and hence the 5 stars and the strongest possible recommendation from me.
