review:

'Cimarronin: Fall of the Cross #1' is part of a continuing series. I received a review copy of this issue only, but I liked what I read and would like to read more.



The series is about an exiled samurai in New Spain and his companion who is an ex-Jesuit priest. This book starts with the capture and branding of slaves. One slave can speak Portuguese, so he becomes the translator for his captors. He also plans an uprising. While this is happening, the samurai has his own fight going on. It kind of jumps around a bit, and with only a length of 25 pages, it's over before it's begun.



It's written by a host of authors, including Neal Stephenson, and while the story jumps around, it's an interesting premise. The art by Dean Kotz can be a bit confusing at times. There are lots of characters and many of them kind of blur together. Yet, I still liked the art style. 25 pages isn't much to base a review on, but I found some interesting threads of story here.



I received a review copy of this comic book issue from Jet City Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book issue.
