Bravo! I loved the comic. The art is undoubtely ripe, but extremely faithful to the original. I could have recognized the characters even if you never named them, including the lesser ones. I also loved the way you added something here and there to the plot, like the party splitting in three to destroy the generators at the same time - or Spark personally avenging his father in the final battle. Reasonable little twists which didn't change substantially the story, but made it more interesting and coherent. What can I say? I'm waiting for Serpent Isle now!
He's french. What he attempted to "render" in english is quite clear, so any english speaking guy here could easily re-translate it, if the Dams! agrees.
Great comic! The drawings are fantastic and the dialogue has some nice moment to it... for once you get to hear the Avatar and his part say the f-word!
But one thing I'd just like to bring up. They constantly mention God in the comic, but I don't think that the concept of an all-powerful deity exists in the Ultima universe. I think something like 'By the virtues' or something along that line would be more in-line with the game universe.
This stuff was just plain amazing. Thank you so much. With a better translation this might be a world-wide hit!
The only problem I saw was that the latter half had a little bit too much in it and so the pacing was a little bit too hasty. (I hold to that claim, even when my fanboy reaction was kind of like, you know, "I can't believe they didn't devote three pages to Horance's introduction." =) Might have been better with a dozen more pages overall. But the end was pretty nice, still...

But before, I ve to work on another comics. A friend is working on the scenario of the Dark Age of Camelot Comics and I'm working on a Guild War Comics... It will be a lot to draw but I can do a LOT!!!!!!!!
I just finish 11 pages dedicated to Tabula Rasa, the futur game done by Richard gariott!
Dams, it would make it easier for me to redo the captions if I had the art without the captions. (Trying to make the text fit into some of the captions isn't working the best). Would you mind?

Dear Wizardy, What you can do is to write the text in a WORD file like:
Thanks Dominus. I was in contact with him, and he said he'd send me a copy via web transfer. He also gave me permission to host it on http://www.ultimacodex.com
