Where was this artist hiding all this time? Maybe behind all that meat! I was very pleasantly surprised by the imagination and creativity of the author, as well as his raw skill in detail work. A world tree with various biomes in its branches is at the very least an interesting foundation for the saturated adventure/fantasy genre. It remains to be seen after a strong initial chapter if the author can sustain that quality going forward, but I'll tell you one thing, I'd like a big, beautiful flesh-dissolving girlfriend also.
