Negative Positive
Title: Good beginning.
Review: Arvid Nelson, Rex Mundi: The Guardian of the Temple (Image, 2004)I made the mistake of getting the first book in this series while the library doesn't yet have the second. Oops.Rex Mundi takes place in an alternate deux-la-guerres Europe, where magic flows freely with the oppression suffered by so many at the time. Julien Sauniere, a doctor suspected of suspicious activities by the Inquisition, gets entangled in the search for a stolen ancient scroll. This introductory volume gives us a few gruesome murder to put him on the trail, but it only the first step in his search. My only real complaint is that I wish they'd collected a few more issues before putting out this first installment in graphic novel form, but hey, what can you do? Hopefully I'll have the second in my hot little hands soon enough and will be able to continue with the story. ***
