A Noble Hero! A Mighty Sword! Oops, Wrong Review!
This is a real page-turner and a laugh riot. Our silly hero is charming; his blade is not black, but is very snarky. How is a fellow supposed to quest when no one wants him to complete it?
He's not a hero for the ages, just... the middle one. It's well-written and funny, clever, and the art & color are delightful. It's a must. I can't wait for volume 2!

This short book was a fun little story that I enjoyed reading. I remember this book was recommended to me a while back because I enjoyed the Groo graphic novel series. The comparison makes sense to me though I enjoyed Groo's adventures better than Quimp's. This did have one of my favorite fantasy tropes, which is the sarcastic talking sword. I can't get enough of that trope in books, and I love whenever I can find it.

This was such a fun read and what I like in my comics: fantasy, lighthearted and oh so funny! I really laughed out loud. It's a great formulation of pretty benign humor but super smart/strong in my opinion. Nothing really dirty or in poor taste. Got book 2. Is there a book 3 coming to print? Can't get enough!

A fun fantasy comic about an inept, but pure-hearted knight and a cursed, sentient sword going on an adventure together. The writing is clever and the artwork is fantastic - a unique mix of clean, exaggerated linework and painterly colors. Even the lettering is great!

This was a lot of fun. The artwork was round, simple, and pleasing. I never got lost in the dialogue. Sure, the jokes got repetitive, but they were still cute.

Delightful
Silliness and originality are right on with this piece. The unpredictable adventures and goofy encounters of our hero kept me turning pages and giggling out loud.
