Cryptocracy by Van Jensen

This is basically the Fantasy version of the superb sci-fi comic [b:Lazarus, Vol. 1: Family|18259637|Lazarus, Vol. 1 Family|Greg Rucka|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393692086l/18259637._SY75_.jpg|25718702]. It’s about how nine families secretly rule the world, Illuminati style, making it an entry into both the Secret World and Secret History genres. There’s nothing mind-blowing here, it’s just a solid comic book tale with monsters and talking bears and stuff.
The art is mostly decent, but there are a few times where it’s unclear what’s happening because of the angles chosen. Artists should be less cutesy and more focused on the fundamentals when it comes to storytelling.
