The colors by Dinei Ribeiro & Ivan Nunes make the art pop off of the screen, and viewing on an HD tablet enhances the experience.įelipe Cagno starts this series off on a strong foot. The art is clean and the style fits the story and belongs in the best possible way. The very first page is a wonderful scenic view that could easily be framed and mounted. There are moments that feel clunky but they are bailed out by the beautiful art by Fabiano Neves. This book tries to be many things in its attempt at taking certain tired tropes and turning them on their head. When Red learns of this, the hunt is on and the story then truly begins in full force. From here you find that there is a snake monster that terrorizes the town but they can keep it at bay by providing sacrifice. She walks in the saloon, because of course, and some local goons roughing up a young lady. We find Red at the beginning of the story riding up to a lightly populated town that reminds you of any other typical small town in a Western in which John Wayne is going to face off some poor soul at high noon. Red is one of a few remaining Curse Chasers, which basically seems to be a pretty kickass slayer of monsters and other nasty supernatural beings. We follow another nameless protagonist that either goes by “Red” or simply “The Redhead”. That is probably the best way to describe The Few and Cursed #1 by Timberwolf Entertainment, the first of a six-part miniseries.

Read The Few and Cursed: Heart Shaped Ambition Don’t sleep on The Few and Cursed, it’s just too good to pass by. I wouldn’t suggest it as a point of entry to this amazing world, but its still a good read and I recommend it. Heart Shaped Ambition is an excellent, albeit B-tier, addition to the world. The Few and Cursed is an amazing series that is constantly growing in new and exciting ways, whether that be boardgames, table top RPGs, or spinoff stories. I was truly caught up in the story, and I felt like no character was safe from meeting a violent end. Featuring some of the most interesting and fully realized characters in the Few and Cursed series, Heart Shaped Ambition succeeded in making me empathize with some characters and feel disgusted by others, and occasionally both. Everyone has an agenda and nothing is as it seems. Heart Shaped Ambition is a story of betrayal, black magic and revenge. The Few and Cursed: Heart Shaped Ambition is a great pirate story. Heart Shaped Ambition was made with love and it shows. The end result would have been very different with quadruple the budge, but I don’t think that would have actually made the book better. Heart Shaped Ambition’s team was able to create visually appealing and distinctive artwork that I enjoyed on a Kickstarted budget. It’s obvious this is a Kickstarted project and not a heavily polished big budget production, but that’s a compliment not a criticism. Kickstarter backers were also treated to an excellent black and white version of the book as well. The art style leans heavily on the penciling which creates a distinctive style that is marred in some places by Clonerh’s heavy shading. That said though, I felt the coloring was the weakest part of the book, occasionally feeling unfinished. Instead of the dry sepia tones that come with a desert planet, we’re treated to the blues and greens of oceans and jungles. This change in setting allowed colorist Clonerh to use a different palette than what we’ve come to expect from the series. That’s not a bad thing – the world is rich, with almost infinite possibilities for choices of location and time period, and filled with dark mysteries. Heart Shaped Ambition’s world bears little resemblance to what we’ve come to expect from the Few and Cursed, taking place prior to the mysterious cataclysm that wiped out the world’s water. The latest entry into this world, written by Carlos Estefan with art by Pedro Mauro, The Few and Cursed: Heart-Shaped Ambition, tells Bartholomew’s story leading up to that initial moment. We first met Captain Bartholomew Eamus in Turks and Caicos in Scarlet Dream, written by Felipe Cagno and drawn by Jose Luis, the first story in the collection Chronicles of the Few and Cursed. What we’re left with is a world of gunslingers and saloons, blowing deserts where there were once oceans, curses, and monsters both human and otherwise. The world of The Few and Cursed is a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic setting: a world where almost all the world’s water vanished overnight in 1840.
