Summary: In All but Blood
Comment: Elfquest used to be fun. No, really. It was hokey at times, but it took itself seriously which gave the hokiness an endearing quality, it had lovely art, and it sometimes actually had something genuine to say.
Over the past years, ever more Elfquest books have come out, and while some of them have been OK, more have been increasingly bad, until this is the worst of all.
Yes, it's nice to see Pini-like art back (though in a careless and occasionally mutant-looking form), but the stories here are beyond saccharine. They're like eating a bag of sugar. The dialogue is unspeakably awful-- poor Strongbow is made to say "Scramble and ramble!" at one especially low point. It's as if the whole thing were a Highlander II -esque self-parody.
Gag. Avoid it.

Summary: More inside storries
Comment: First, this might sound bias because Elfquest is my favorite book series. I consider Wendy and Richard Pini to be one of the greatest story tellers of our time. I would say the first eight books are the best, and I've been reading Elfquest way back when the first graphic novels were released. "In All But Blood" is a great book, where the stories fall between or right after the first 8 books. If you're a fan of Elfquest, I would highly recommened this book. If you havn't read Elfquest, I suggest you do yourself a huge favor and order book 1, Fire and Flight. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: The beauty of friendship revealed...
Comment: The relationship between Cutter and Skywise, two male elves who are "brothers in all but blood," is explored in-depth in these marvelously written stories. The illustrations, though not by Wendy Pini herself, are at least decent, unlike some of the other recent ElfQuest books. I could not give higher praise to such a celebration of an aspect of relationships too rarely seen in modern culture.
