At long last Class Comics is about to release the sequel to its former release, "Brother To Dragons", and Patrick Fillion has delivered a striking cover as usual.
Had I known I would wait years for a second installment, I might not have purchased the original comic. Still, I can cut Mr. Fillion ample slack because of the quality of his company's output. Class is definitely not a misnomer in describing the books that come out of Canada. They're the best gay comics produced, bar none.
I imagine it is very hard for Mr. Fillion to appease his many fans. He has such a distinctive style that most of us don't want to settle for anything less than his work. I know that was the case with the book "Space Cadet". Finally, a comic devoted to luscious manimals with great covers and inside covers art by Patrick himself, then the disappointment that someone else did the pages art. Sure, I recognize how hard it would be for Mr. Fillion to be the sole artist producing comics at Class. But if any subject matter cried out for his touch it was that one. Hopefully, it won't take years for "Space Cadet 2" to arrive. (I might not live to see it.) Last heard Mr. Fillion was set to draw the entire comic. I pray it is so. (I have one request: please do another outstanding portrait of the centaur character King Strider!)
Until then, I look forward to reading "Brother To Dragons 2". I'll have to go back and read Book One so I can remember what it is about. Now there's a really pleasant chore and one worth your doing, too. Especially, if you have yet to buy it.
