On their way (somewhere in France I think) lies Kamarg and Count Brass, warrior, scientist. He also managed to recover some of the ancient weaponry and systems and now represents obstacle that Granbretan wants to overcome. And to overcome it they use Hawkmoon, defeated leader of Koeln resistance.
And thus starts our story. Entire book is full of W40K vibe, only difference being that Emperor is enemy here (he leads the Granbretan).
Art is more golden age style - there are no balloons, but lots of text under the panels. If you ever read Brick Bradford or Prince Valiant you will be familiar with the layout. Art itself is very dark (inline with the overall atmosphere) and at some points might become slightly confusing (it is definitely missing some light). But overall it is very good black and white art. At times art looks little bit stiff but on the good side author manages to create beautiful panoramas, especially of the Emperor's palace.
Very interesting book, definitely brought back some memories. For fans of post-apocalyptic societies and W40K highly recommended.… (plus d'informations)
