Grass Kings, Vol. 1 by Matt Kindt
3.0

Grass Kings is a "different" story but a pretty interesting one.

For years and years the Grass Kingdom was under a small community who wanted to be away from all other people. In doing so they began forming a family of sorts around this place. However, as the story progresses, you see the cracks in the foundation of the family and others who live inside there. And then when outsiders come in, it only gets worse.

Good: The art is solid. I really liked the design for a lot of it. I also thought the start was intriguing and interesting throughout. The loss of a character is well done, sad, and crafted well to give you all the emotions you need.

Bad: The ending wasn't nearly as captivating as the start. The "showdown" was just okay. Not very interesting or any twist I didn't see coming.

Overall, for it's different style, and story, I enjoyed it. It has issues but a good start. I'll check out volume 2. A 3 out of 5.
