This is a dark version of the tale of Robinhood. While the story is straightforward, the artwork and story are both delightful. I assume there is another one coming after this due to the cliffhanger. It was not life-changing, and some of the fonts are difficult to read. However, if you want a quick and simple read, this comic will do.

Note: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review through NetGalley.com.
It is a grimdark fantasy retelling/remix of the Robinhood fairytale. I didn't want to like it. It's ugly, grimy, violent, cynical, with some edginess that feels forced. "Who needs to dirty up Robinhood?" I asked myself.
Nottingham provides the answer. It twists the story in inspired directions and is backed up by artwork and framing the evokes masterclass films and comics in the genre like Oldboy, V for Vendetta, and Gane of Thrones to produce a stylized England that doesn't shy away from who England was, and in some ways still is. Volume 1 wasn't perfect by any means, but it sets up a series with a ton of potential. Looking forward to following up with volume 2 as soon as possible.… (altro)

I really liked this grimdark retelling of the Robin Hood legend. It's a very bloody tale and no one is a hero. I really hope there's a second volume.

Overall, this wasn't for me. The basic plot had a lot of potential, but the end which was all about the power of friendship (ish) and taking control of your destiny wasn't particularly well done and came off cheesy. At the start the magic wasn't explained very well, which was also a bit sad.
