The idea is that you want to read it following the sequence of the "original comic" column. I put sticky notes all over mine and found it possible to read this. Hope that helps.

This book suffers from huge ordering errors (which no one seems to be in any great hurry to correct...) The story, while enjoyable, is near impossible to decode without asking another fan or using the original comics as a guide. Even if you can decode the confusing order, it's impossible to immerse yourself in a world when you're hunting for the next page ^^;

I love this book! It shows just how manipulative Winnowill can be.

Right after the great conclusion of The Great War on The World of Two Moons, the first thing you notice about the follow-up stories is that the art style is quite different. It still looks good at first, however. You may remember that back in the espiode of the Blue Mountain, the unfortunate young Dewshine had been forced to mate with a genetically misfigured bat-elf, so here she had produced and nurtured a very chubby "Windkin" baby which had inherited a floating knack of its own. So in this new espiode, one of the Guilders who had survived the "Blue Mountain" incident had come sniffing around the Wolfrider's new hideout in The Forbidden Grove. Unfortunately, Dewshine's kid had flown right out to regard the intruder with some bubbly baby talk. As a result, the Guilder had suddenly grabbed the infant and made right off with it as a prize to present to the wicked Winnowill, who has by now made herself The Queen of The Blue Mountain. So it's the Wolfriders to the rescue! A good read, with all the characters sporting an appearance makeover, but not as exsiquite as the original stories done by the hand of the original creators.

Attention first time readers of Elfquest! This edition is COMPLETELY OUT OF ORDER!!!! It would be better to look around for the original copies of these issues.
