Free Country: A Tale of the Children's Crusade

3.5

I was so very excited when I stumbled upon this. I got the first soft issue years ago and had never found the rest. And I completely forgot about the full collection, when I stumbled upon it yesterday at my local comic shop, which I almost never go to since I don't read many Western comics, and I never read superhero comics (they're just not my preference). But I went on a lark, looking for horror comics, and I found THIS to add to my Neil collection.

The art is interesting. Not my favourite, but mostly for completely subjective reasons. It's decent art objectively. The story is a little inconsistent, but that's to be expected when multiple people are writing it. It has some lovely, funny bits. But since I don't know other characters besides vaguely Black Orchid and Tim Hunter, I was a little confused; the lack of time spent with certain of the children made things a little rushed too.

But on the whole, a lovely time was spent. And I just love Edwin and Charles. I always have, always will.
