Ironwood Book 2 (Eros Graphic Album Series No. 6)

Ironwood Book 2 (Eros Graphic Album Series No. 6) Review

This really is fun - a B&W romp complete with dragons (and there's a surprise for you), centaurs and especially centauresses, and some lovely lady a bit like a mermaid, but with serptine lower body rather than fish-like. And, since this is a very adult comic, the romping turns vividly carnal every few pages. A few scenes get kinky, including a remarkable scene with snake-lady, but the close moments are always consensual and in a spirit of fun.

The people - a term I use in a very inclusive sense - are generally well drawn. A sketchbook in the back shows some of the evolution from first impressions towards finished comic art, something I found very interesting. As so often happens with "sketchbook" material, it came across as filler. The story came to a rather abrupt end when most of the supporting (i.e. female) characters had been killed off. An epilog follows, Our Hero in a tavern some years later, recounting the tale to breathless (and shirtless, and pantsless) babes. One of them asks, "How can that be the end? You haven't resolved anything."

I agree. It's pretty good anyway, but storytelling has been done better.

-- wiredweird Save Dragavon meets his match in the sapphic-leaning Pandora Breedlswight - throw in the enchanting Fantasia Faust, a horny female centaur, and am evil sorceror, and you've got a fantasy tale of epic proportions!

This all ends up in a sordid revenge plot, with a dodgy bishop as agent of a sorceror, to recover a magic dagger. Dragavon is there in the middle, as well as a summoned demon, a golem, and others.
