The second series
of Action Lab Comic’s Princeless is hitting comic book shelves. I really enjoyed the first volume so I was
excited to see the story continuing.
Years ago I was sitting at a friend’s house and having a couple
drinks. Her daughter was pretty young at
the time and the friend commented how she wanted a series of fairy tales where
the princess didn’t need a prince to do the rescuing. That the princess was important enough to
have adventures on her own. When I read
through the first volume of Princeless I thought back to that old conversation and
just smiled.
Action Lab sent
me the first issue of the new Princeless and I jumped at the chance to read
it. The story picks up right where the
first volume left off. I think the first
issue recaps the prior adventures enough that a new reader wouldn’t be lost,
but I’d recommend tracking down the other issues. The humor and warmth are still there. Writer Jeremy Whitley is fantastic at getting
laughs out of fantasy archetypes. The
adventurers introduced in this issue are worth the price of admission;
everything else is just a bonus. Emily
Martin provides the art this time around.
It’s a solid effort too, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I missed M.
Goodwin’s pencils on this.
Check out
Princeless for yourself, either at your local shop or at Action Lab’s own
website.
