A review of The Phoenix Requiem on ComixTalk
April 19, 2008 at 11:27 am | In The Webcomic Overlook, webcomics | Leave a CommentTags: The Phoenix Requiem
My review of Sarah Ellerton’s mystical Victorian era webcomic, The Phoenix Requiem, is now up on ComixTalk. It’s about a mysterious stranger who stumbles into an idyllic village and the pretty doctor who fixes him up. If you want the short version, I thought the illustrations were absolutely stunning, but the storytelling aspect was rather slow and unrealistic … and I’m not talking about the part where the people’s faces fall apart.
