Nottingham is both exactly what I expected, and nothing like what I expected.
To be honest, I didn't look too much into before reading other than it was a graphic novel retelling of Robin Hood and at it's core, that is exactly what Nottingham is.
This first volume is dark, gritty, and pulls enough from the source material without being a rehashed/regurgitated version of the same old thing over and over.
The art style wasn't exactly my thing, but I did thoroughly enjoy the new take on such a well-known and recognisable tale.
