Ravine Vol. 1

Ravine is an ambitious original graphic novel published by Image. It's a fantasy based story and this is the first volume of I don't-know-how-many.

The story is full of fantasy cliches but the fully painted art (by Stepan Sejic) is gorgeous .

I think I'll need to re-read it before I read volume 1 due to the vast number of characters introduced. I think the writers have been inspired by Game of Thrones' large cast!

A varity of Graphic Novels & trades


Lots of new stuff has arrived in the post over the last few days. A cheap (£2.49) hardback collection of Iron Man Extremis was a bit of an impulse buy on ebay. This is from the "Ultimate Graphic Novel Collection" but I don't mind as the story with a few pages of extras looks well presented. I have the majority of the UGNC in the original comics so it was not something I was particularly interested in - but this was one story I was missing.


 The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke is supposed to be excellent so when Amazon got some new stock in I jumped at the chance to buy both volumes.
I read an article about Ravine on CBR and was impressed by the painted artwork as well as being interested in the fantasy based story. This is a 128 page original graphic novel published by Image. I don't know how many volumes they are planning but it sure looks pretty leafing through it!
