I can understand what this tribute to side scrolling beat 'em ups is trying to do, but this is a mess. So much so that I kept checking that I hadn't missed panels or pages.

Packed with great characters, action, video game references, and fun, this is a 90s-inspired gem!

Got this in a sale to try it out. Liked the title as a promise of adventure. Not sure I'll carry on with the series as I didn't get much out of this volume. It ambled and digressed and didn't really flow. I liked Bear as he was endearing, and reminded me physically of Gregory in The Nao of Brown. No one is really developed outside of tropes though.
