This past week, in preparation for my chat with Curtis Clow, I read the first four issues of his famed series ‘Beastlands’ which has been picked up for distribution by Darkhorse Comics.

Curtis likens his series to a cross between Pokémon and Game of Thrones. This is a fairly accurate claim. There is an adult level of violence found in the latter reference, but the theme of people having magical pet companions is reminiscent of the ’90s card game and cartoon.
