Record of Lodoss War Chronicles of the Heroic Knight Book 4

I've enjoyed the LODOSS WAR - CHRONICLES OF THE HEROIC KNIGHT series because it really reads like an American action comic book. As such, Book 4 really turns up the heat! Jiba the Dark Elf has claws reminiscent of Marvel's Wolverine character, and is just as adept at using them. The story really picks up as Spark begin to lose his confidence after suffering a few brutal defeats in a row. Fortunately, he's more like his old self again by the end of the book, which is exactly what he needs to do if he's ever going to rescue Neece from Jiba's grimy clutches. The Leif character also has a larger role to play in this book as Spark's guide, and he also serves as the comic relief. However there's still the question of where the other characters of Spark's entourage have gone after their disastrous shipwreck in Book 3. Another added bonus are cameo appearances by Lodoss mainstays Parn the Free Knight and King Kashu! This is a great title to check out, regardless of whether or not you've sat through the entire anime. It has action, comedy, and tremendous art. Recommended!
