Recent Reads: ElfQuest: The Original Quest

I don’t promise I won’t do one of these for every issue, so you should probably be glad that it’s not a monthly title.

The Pinis have announced that their publication schedule has advanced more rapidly than they expected, so as of page 26, they’re ceasing the online teasers for the prologue to THE FINAL QUEST, and will be completing the story in print sometime later this year.
