3.5/5

A cute and surprisingly emotional graphic novel. Villian Lord Blackheart gains a shapeshifting sidekick and together they work about taking on the corrupt Institute. They battle together against bad rulers and their champion Sir Goldenloin.

- The artwork is simple, effective and impactful. It fit the story very well and I enjoyed it's use of colours.

- There's a theme of "who are the good/bad guys really?" throughout the book which I enjoyed. As a dungeon master for D&D it's the kind of thought process I like to encourage in my games.

- The characters are sweet and become more complicated as the story goes on. The book is mildly queer but it's more of a background thing than a main plot point.

A good graphic novel for D&D enthusiasts and those who like redemption archs.
