Samurai Jack, but executed better It also has influences of Mignola s work which I adore It s about Norgal the executioner son...It s pretty and bright with an art style that falls somewhere between Adventure Time and Hellboy, but there wasn t much else to sink your teeth into Granted, I don t think it wanted to bethan head chopping action, but it felt long and fairly one note with barely any character or plot to invest in, and I generally needthan this offers Apocalyptigirl did stylish adventure better and with muchheart, and I hate Fairyland does wanton violence with a lotgoofy fun, but

likingHonestly, I don t really know what to say about this oneIt definitely was quirky, full of action and a funny witch head The artwork feels really basic, but it definitely works here..From me, it
