Review: Golden Kamuy vol. 3-4

By Dustin Cabeal

As I wrap up my desk reviews, I’ve decided to combo up some volumes of manga I have left so that I can get a fresh start on new reviews. It’s not a preference of mine to review this way, but with the titles I had left, I ended up not feeling as if I would have too much variety in my reviews if I did them volume by volume. That is especially true of Golden Kamuy.

Review: Golden Kamuy vol. 2

By Dustin Cabeal

The first volume of Golden Kamuy was interesting, but ultimately it lacked something special to hook me on the story. It made jumping into the second volume a bit harder because I wasn’t excited enough to want to continue reading the series. It happens all the times, especially with manga and indie comics, in that the quality of the product is fine, but the interest is never there.

Review: Golden Kamuy vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s gold in them thar hills… as they say. Golden Kamuy is a period story set after the Russo-Japanese War. I’m not big on period fiction unless it’s an era I particularly enjoy and so I wasn’t leaping up and down like a mad prospector for Golden Kamuy. It did entertain me as I read through its pages.
