Just let me second that.
EQ was unique and I think still is so. In addition to the amazing art, one 
thing I liked was how real the characters felt, probably in part because 
of the continuity of the story, which was much more present in these 
graphic novels than the super hero comics I was reading when I picked up 
EQ (I think I must have been about 8 or 9).

Because of this I was disappointed when you broke the formula. The 
storyline was broken into mutliple paralell ones, the art was no longer 
Pini-art (although some of it was still good) etc. The final return to one 
title didn't help either because each issue was split into 3 or 4 titles 
with only a few pages for each story. Hopefully, the new issues will bring 
life into this old life-long friend of ours that is ElfQuest.... :)

EQ also inspired me and my friends to develope our artistic talents. I 
always admired my friends' abilities to draw Cutter, Winnowill and the 
others and it drove me to work hard to achieve the same. 
Thanks guys! :)
