Today we journey into:
Elf Quest: The final Quest VOLUME ONE
by: Wendy and Richard Pini
Elf Quest is another series that has a highly recognizable style to it, Wendy's art is beautiful and stylized. This series started way back in 1978 and is still continuing! (It's totally worth it to read all the previous volumes.)
This is the compilation of the first six issues of comics from the "final quest" line. It is in full color, and rather magnificent. It's been some time since i've read the series but I will always remember the general happenings of it. This selection seems to focus on three things. Cutter's daughter Ember, a human named Angrif Djun who is bringing back war and trouble to the tribes, and the thoughts that the Palace of the High Ones is changing everyone (whether for good or bad, we do not know.)
It is full of births, deaths, but most of all: Change.
I wasn't expecting to like Ember this time around but she has grown up quite a bit. Before she was very annoying and out of place as a character to me, but its all come full circle and shes become a character fighting for her own power. The team gets into quite a few hard spots but it all works out in one way or another.
This is full of re-caps on some characters so it was a great refresher course. Though to get the full experience DO read the others!

The signed editions are very affordable and I think I will splurge on them when I go to start up my elfquest collection.
