It is 11th century and mercenaries are pouring into Sicily in order to take over the Sicily from the Moors under command of Byzantine general. In this powder keg mysterious mercenary troop arrives led by Tancred, man who fights side by side with mysterious Eastern warriors and who seems to have some greater goal in mind except pillaging the gold from the Moors.

As the events unfold we follow two stories - one taking place in Sicily and events taking place few years before in the Byzantine mines in Anatolia where prisoners and outcasts work until they die in the Imperial mines.

Interesting story, very well presented. Art is cartoon-ishy but good. I especially liked scenes of mass battles and panoramas of Sicily.

If you like revenge stories like Count of Monte Cristo give this one a shot, you will enjoy it. ( )

Pretty straight forward storytelling, nothing too exciting honestly. Characters where the typical mercenaries, each trying to out do one another. Some of the writing became repetitive with names of places and ethnic groups.

Art was nice, I love raw, messy, sketchy art, and the style fit the type of storytelling. ( )
