There were splash pages scattered throughout the volume that left my jaw hanging and overall I really dug it. The color of the book worked well too. The story - which I wasn't really expecting anything from, really impressed me. I cared about the charac There's a 12 ft. I cared about the characters, their relationships with one another, and I really felt Emmet's struggle wanting to hang onto his family and not lose his identity to alzheimer's.
What a dirty ass disease.

There were some feels too in the book that got me right in the heart. So often I feel like these shorter mini-series flop out on the endings. This one I really dug.
It was wrapped up perfectly, IMO. I really wasn't all that hype for this one and spank my ass if I didn't really enjoy it. Did I mention there is a foot talking sword? I really liked that part.

The story is engaging and fast paced. It had me leaping through the pages to find out what happened. The story is over. Can't see how they'd make a second volume. Received an advance copy from Image and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Mar 29, James DeSantis rated it really liked it. Donny Cates is just killing it. Even at his worst the work he does is still solid. Much respect for this guy. So what's God Country about? Well, you can read the description on any review or right above here. So let me tell you what it really is about.
This old dude gets a sword from the sky and kills a demon. Then the god who had the sword comes down to talk to him. They don't see eye to eye and then the god returns home. Once there popa god says we must take the sword back and sends his other Donny Cates is just killing it.
Once there popa god says we must take the sword back and sends his other son to retrieve it. And from there a lot of killing, kidnapping, and fights go on. So above you'd probably think this is a gigantic fighting comic. And in some ways it is. And the fights are big and fucking epic. However, it's the family moments, the heartfelt moments, that really hit hard. The art is also great, the fights are stunning, and the designs are pretty interesting. The second half gets a little heavy in itself, trying too much at once, and felt a bit too rushed.
I really dug the shit out of this. While not as good as Redneck or Babyteeth I'd still say it's a damn good time. People, check this out if you haven't yet! Jul 18, 47Time rated it it was amazing Shelves: Arzheimer's is a nasty condition. Losing memories of your loved ones must be painful. A magical artifact repairs Emmett's mind, allowing him to remember his wife, son and granddaughter.
He displays a serious human weakness when faced with the prospect of giving it back, though.

The god that create Arzheimer's is a nasty condition. The god that created it wants it back and he is just as stubborn as Emmett is. Both are in their twilight years and are worried about what they leave behind, something to be remembered by.

- A Dangerous Low (The Dangerous Low Series Book 1);
The old man's verbal violence puts too much stress on his wife Janey who takes her daughter Deena and heads back home. They are stopped by a massive tornado and a foot dark creature. Right as it attacks Deena, Emmett saves her using a huge sword named Valofax which fell from the sky. The story may seem simplistic so far, but the focus on legacy, family and loved ones, determination, together with some epic battles should keep anyone turning the pages.
The ending is worth it. Aristus, god of war, blood and honor, demands the sword back for his father Attum, but Valofax chooses to remain with Emmett.
Yes, the sword speaks and its choice seems to be in spite of Attum, its creator. Valofax also protects Emmet and his family from the god Balegrim and Aristus's attacks. Emmett completely loses control in his anger, but is stopped by his family. He decides to end it all by going to Attum's realm, a world barely kept whole by Attum's sheer will. The fight between Emmett and Attum risks to unfocus the latter's enchantments which keep the world from being swallowed up by the void.
Emmett is wounded severely by Attum and dies in Roy's arms. Attum also kills his own son for trying to stop him.
God Country #1
Roy uses Valofax to teleport away before Attum can claim the sword and, without its power, the latter is unable to stop the void from destroying his world. Roy returns to his family and the story of the sword and the events surrounding it is told from generation to generation in his family. This becomes the legacy that Emmett always wanted to leave behind. Mar 03, Roy rated it really liked it. Really cool fantasy drama novel. Father who suffers from Alzheimer's ends up with a powerful sword that cures him only when holding this powerful sword.
I large quest into realms and fighting Gods is whats in store.

Its one and done, cant see a second Vol at all. The artwork didnt really work for that well. Kinda looked a little rushed. It's a damned shame there isn't a rating higher than five stars. This is, by far, the single most beautiful story I've read in quite some time. The art is almost as busy as the pace is fast, but with a fairly simple through-line in the plot it never feels difficult to follow.
The voice of the narrator caught my attention first. The country dialect lulls you into a sense of older, more simple times. Which is, of course, a complete contrast to the actual story which, once it begins, almost never gi It's a damned shame there isn't a rating higher than five stars.
Which is, of course, a complete contrast to the actual story which, once it begins, almost never gives you a chance to breathe. Oh, sure, you get a page or two of calm between storms, but it's mostly full speed ahead from page one. If you have a love for stories in general, read this.
If you like a good fairy tale, read this. If you love your family, read this. Oct 09, Alberto Parrilla Moruno rated it liked it. Jan 13, Dan rated it liked it.
