Eh heh. It's hard to say. So I'll just copy and paste from their own site: Colin Lord is a cheerful Boston Communist, and Banquo White is a cranky half-Mexican with no philosophy beyond hedonism. Somehow they have become partners in crime, spreading a reign of terror and dialectical materialism across the plains of Colorado. Follow their adventures with explosives and ladies--and, possibly, men.
Does that really tell you "Goodbye Chains" in a nutshell? Not hardly! There's so much to be discovered here. It's hilarious and serious, surprising and thoughtful. And the art! It's simply gorgeous. Her use of shading is exquisite, as are all the tiny details. The relationship between the two main characters will keep you enthralled, even when those annoying little side characters stick their noses in.
I would recommend this comic to anyone who enjoys reading them. And who can resist a comic that warns for "fantasy cannibalism"?
The site is www.goodbyechains.com and I would suggest you head on over and catch up to what's going on. They usually update about three days a week, and believe me, each wait is worth it.
