Defalt
One more episode of Guts and Griffith in the past.
Again we get giant, very detailed action panels that still look amazing. And one on one fights are brutal and insane as always. The plot has even more mysteries and hints for the future.
But I still don't like one particular character which shows no logic in what she does. And I guess, I'm not a fan of some manga features overall—some dialogue lines and too many reaction shots. And there's another abrupt ending here...
However, I'm really invested in the story and setting, so I will read on!

Epic battles and a bit more of Casca’s past
We finally learn some parts about Griffith’s past and see what he’s gone through. Again he talks about his dream but we still don’t know what that is.
Also here’s a lot of action! Awesome episode where Guts and Casca fight together, giant enemies in scary-looking armour with large, super dangerous weapons. And, of course, Guts being a super cool swordsman again! (he killed just too many enemies in one fight)
And I can’t not talk about the art. Night forest panels in black and white are so unusual and nice! And there’s a shot with some maps on a table as a part of the environment and even they’re extremely detailed when they don’t have to be. And here you can really appreciate the amount of different things like armour—most of the armour pieces are different between each other and there are a lot of shots with many armoured soldiers. The art is just getting better, it’s amazing!
And the ending is really cool. I have to read the next volume immediately!

A break from all the previous action
It’s all about royal court intrigues, government stuff, useless dreams and personal things. Guts finally reflects on what he’s doing with his life and what he wants.
Overall it’s pretty slow with a lot of talking or thinking and hints at some big, important events, like a quiet before the storm. The ending is great once again!
Looking forward to the eclipse, I guess.

Good Ol’ Fantasy Continues
Cool action right from the beginning featuring various, nasty monsters which just keep getting more interesting as the story progresses. But characters also talk a lot about their past or present problems and we gradually learn—because it’s a sad story—their reasons for this revenge quest.
The art is great—detailed enough, especially the faces, with nice two-page scenes and stylised colours. And the ending feels intriguing.
I really hope this series continues and stays this good for a very long time.

It’s a classic, I guess
Wait, what, a mutant with super sharp blades growing out of his hands and who can't be killed pledged against violence? This won’t end well.
The art is good enough and quite detailed most of the time, but Wolverine always has some strange look on his face and in a couple panels some details were out of focus. Dialogues and action are mostly good but to me feel a bit confusing in some places. Overall the story, atmosphere and action episodes are very dark and violent. And all the famous heroes and villains are very old which looks interesting. But the f-word is censored for whatever reason, this makes no sense here.
Also to me some character moments feel like fan service—Hulk's descendants are evil landlords, Hawkeye is blind—, maybe because of how these things are spoken instead of just shown and sometimes are even repeated. And some famous Marvel characters can be seen in the background. Although an episode featuring other hero’s suit is quite interesting and fun.
But then the villain just tells all his motivation during a fight. And that happens more than once. What? Why? I guess, it’s a feature of superhero comics.
Yeah, I’m not a Marvel fan but at least this has a more interesting setup than the movie.

Starring bloody Keanu Reeves
Not much to say about this one. There’s a story about remembering main hero’s past and a lot of very brutal action. The art is fine enough for portraying that violence but not detailed at all. Of course Keanu looks good even in this format.
I think I won’t continue this series unless I hear some very good reviews.
