Having grown up on the classic European comics (Tintin/Asterix), I'm always keen to try something new, such as this fantasy story from Spain. Right from the start, the beautiful production of the book drew me in -- from the striking cover with rounded corners and spot varnish, to the lush color interiors, clearly a lot of attention went into the making of the book.However... it is confusing at times -- both in storyline and artwork. As best I could tell by the end, there is a kingdom that exists in a magical mist, and the geography of that kingdom shifts with the mists and at times, people and creatures from other dimensions enter and are absorbed. The kingdom seems to be largely ruled by three witch queens, who have some kind of alliance with the titular brigade of dwarves, as well as with some dark elves. There are also a brother and sister human mixed in who seem to be important in some magical way, but I couldn't ever quite work out what everyone's objectives are. As a story, it's a bit frustrating -- although maybe the next installment will clear things up.
The artwork is strikingly original, but at times so stylized that I struggled to really decipher whom or what I was looking at in a panel. Part of it is the character creation, which is quite angular, and can make for some real problems figuring who is who. However, that's balanced against a really different looking world, and some really amazing layouts. The book uses a lot of panels that are only 1-2 inches tall, but full page-width, giving them the feel of widescreen cinema. Definitely worth checking out if you are interested in seeing something different -- just be warned that you might not be satisfied at the end.

Brigada Enrique Fernandez 9781942367321 Books Reviews
A rather enjoyable story that gets better and better with every page. I admit I needed a moment to get used to this graphic, but I really like it. It's original and feels fresh among all those other look-alike graphics out there.
And the story? Well, I admit it was a bit chaotic at times, but in the end, I think it worked out fine. Basically, we're following Ivro and his brigade of misfits on a sort of quest. There are several jumps between characters showing different parts of events and different points of view and even though this makes the story and out view of it more complete, I think this was the reason for the chaos. Maybe if the authors concentrated on the dwarves it would be a bit easier to follow.
Once again I have to say that the graphic made up for the bits of chaos. I liked the color pattern, the character design and the uniqueness of it all. Quite pleasurable to look at, even if it might require some getting used to.
I received both of these novels from the publishers via Netgalley in exchange for honest reviews.
'Brigada' by Enrique Fernandez was a graphic novel that I found confusing. Both the art and the story made this a story that was hard to follow.
The story is about a bunch of violent dwarves. When they are preparing for a battle, they end up in a weird mist and all get separated. There are large fierce beasts in the forest, and witches and other creatures. There is a strange well. There is the chaos that happens during battles, and at the heart of the story is Ivro, who is just trying to get his party back together safely.
I alternated between liking and disliking the graphic style. The characters were very angular in nature, and I had a hard time sometimes distinguishing the dwarves. There is one human (?) character with a long distended chin. It kind of kept pulling me out of the story because it seemed a bit grotesque. I think the art is good, but it doesn't serve the story so well. The story was convoluted and confusing as well. There were a lot of times I could understand how Ivro felt, because I felt completely lost in a mist as well. Maybe I should try to read this again, and it might make more sense.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Magnetic Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
