Plot: A young butcher trying to earn enough to give the woman he loves a proper wedding, moonlights in a hunting party with a local chief and ends up avenging the death of the chief’s son. He married the woman and while on honeymoon the village they were in was ransacked. His wife was murdered and he was made a slave.

Review: I liked this issue but it really seems like they crammed way too much story into one issue. The story would have been more enjoyable if the writer would have just taken his time and laid out the story at a nice even pace. There were plenty of places that would have made a nice cliffhanger to pick up the next issue. I could actually see enjoying this book if it would just slow down and give me the chance to do so. The art was decent but the story seemed to fly by so fast it was hard to relax and enjoy anything about this comic.
