Surely it had been cancelled before it was released, so they knew there wasn't going to be a volume 2.Williamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-58335647911241026852014-02-03T12:17:54.085-06:002014-02-03T12:17:54.085-06:00Art by Jesus Saiz!

Sorry guys ...<br /><br />But darned if your review doesn't incline me to pick up the collection anyway!Kent G.

Marx's background as the creator of Jem and the Holograms made me expect a trite, old-fashioned comic aimed at pre-teen girls, but Sword of Sorcery turned out to be a great fantasy epic with strong, relatable characters and some of the best artwork Lopresti has ever done.<br /><br />I also loved the Beowulf serial, and I keep hoping Bedard will bring the character back in one of his current books.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.com
