I was intrigued enough by Jason’s Athos in America, his collection of shorts, to start reading his back catalog. I am not even remotely disappointed: Martians, duels, strong women, romance, space travel, and much much more. The Last Musketeer may be terse in page size, but it packs a wallop of a story. This is storytelling done right, to the point, entertaining, good character development, and not in the least superfluous in the art. I love how stark and monochromatic the art feels, which does not detect from the story but actually enhances it.

This is highly recommended.

Sort of a Monkey vs Robot feel with words, and hilarious lackey interactions.

The Three Musketeers happened 400 years ago. Porthole is dead. Aramis is a businessman or some shit. Athos is still a musketeer, in a modern France that clearly doesn’t need him. And then an Emperor Ming ass mars attacks earth.

Jason is a classic weirdo, and this is a wonderful trip into his weirdness.
