Outlaw Scorn 3030 AD

A highly professional job from an upstart publisher, Outlaw Scorn 3030 A.D. has sharp writing, a good sense of humor, memorable characters, a sturdy concept, and enough attitude to charm without posturing. It also has razor-sharp lettering skills that creates a very defined image of sound, a detail which many publishers overlook. The coloring is strictly by-the-book—which is to say it stands next to top-selling titles without developing its own identity, but how many titles do? At least it gets an A+ for technicality and prettiness.

The art might jinx itself in a few panels, but generally does a fine job with its style, which, along with what looks like the beginning of an epic quest, answers what would happen if Joe Madureira put anthropomorphic critters in a post-apocalyptic environment.
