Princeless Vol.1 – “Save Yourself” (Action Lab)

Writer: Jeremy Whitley | Art: M. Goodwin

Princeless is the story of Princess Adrienne, one princess who’s tired of waiting to be rescued. Join Adrienne, her guardian dragon, Sparky, and their plucky friend Bedelia as they begin their own quest in this one of a kind, action packed, all-ages adventure!

Collects: Princeless Vol.1 #1-4

This was a very pleasant surprise. It’s a progressive, all-ages comic book that should have massive appeal across age groups. The story is witty, well-written, and the artwork is filled with amusing and eye-catching details. I really enjoyed this, and think a lot of others will, too.

Upcoming: “Princeless” Vol.2, #2 (Action Labs)

I’ve just got hold of Princeless Volume 1 and also the first two issues of Volume 2. In advance of a review, I thought I’d share the cover for the second issue in the second volume, because it made me chuckle. It’s also a sentiment I agree with, and there are certain comics publishers who are entirely guilty of “bringing the whole artform down”, as the character says (long-time readers will know which ones they are, as I can’t pass up an excuse to mention it in my reviews)…

Review of the series coming very soon. This particular issue will hit shelves in March 2013.
