Rex Mundi, Vol. 1: The Guardian of the Temple by Arvid Nelson
1.0
I'd actually give this 1.5 stars if I could because I liked the one shot at the end. I was pretty excited about this but it turned out that it just didn't do anything for me. 75% of the frames didn't have any words but then in between chapters there were these "newspapers" that I came to dread. The art was nice but the style of straight on face shots was repeated so much that it became annoying.
The writing for the newspaper articles seemed to slip into modern verbiage a lot. I'm not sure if the word "terrorist" was in use in 1933 and that along with words like "press conference" kind of took me out of the setting and into the modern day. Maybe it's because I mistakenly thought the time period was even earlier until I was almost done with the book.
Overall it just went too slow and the parts with the most writing were rather boring.
