Kings and Canvas #1-3 (MonkeyBrain Comics)
In the fantastical world of MonkeyBrain Comics’ Kings and Canvas, duels are fought in a boxing ring rather than on the battlefield which creates a truly original take on this well worn genre. But will this unique approach deliver a knock-out punch or will it wind up falling to the mat?
Publisher: Monkeybrain Comics
Writer: Neil Kleid
Artist: Jake Allen (Penciller/Inker), Frank Reynoso (Colorist)

Kings and Canvas tells the story of Mammoth, a fighter and an exile who is now a prisoner, battling to stay alive as he digs for steel under his abusive guards. However, upon realising that his actions are not for the country’s war effort, but for his captors pockets, Mammoth decides to put his fighting skills to use and escape. Once free, Mammoth decides to return to his home, earning his way cross country in the ring, and picking up some like-minded souls on the way. But not everyone wants him to return, with others wanting to make sure he never leaves the ring victorious.
From the first page, Kings and Canvas is an engrossing story, which comes across as something resembling a combination of Rocky and a Knight’s Tale. The main draw of the book is the enigmatic Mammoth, who despite playing his cards close to his chest, is depicted as a strong, loyal, and (mostly) honourable individual. But this isn’t the only sign of good characterisation as sidekick Nik is a fun addition to the cast, with obvious hints of more below the surface, while the villain of the piece also comes across as someone with more depth than we are shown thanks to his machinations. Without giving too much away, this is where the title falls flat, as the characters’ individual objectives could be a little more explicitly explained. Not knowing their intentions at times, feels like it hinders the reader from knowing and liking these characters more.
As for the art, Jake Allen does a solid job, with his style coming across as nicely unique but also strangely familiar. While trying to find an artist to compare his work to, we struggled to pick out one obvious comparison which is perhaps a back-handed compliment in itself. Allen’s work looks incredibly clean and slick, especially during the many fight scenes, notably the fight with Argos and the page spread when Mammoth escapes his prison. Of course, Frank Reynoso’s colouring contribution cannot be ignored here, as his use of natural, earthy colours really makes Kings and Canvas feel grounded and very fitting to the more old-fashioned aspect of the story. But also, Reynoso’s transition from the regular natural colours to the brighter tones for the first issue’s story sequences is his real stand out work, as it really makes Allen’s pencils pop.
“With lovely art and some good writing in a book centred around a central premise, Kings and Canvas is a really fun story of a man refusing to give up on the fight to retrieve what he lost. Even if the idea of a Rocky-style fighter in a Middle Ages fantasy land isn’t your thing, it’s a title that is definitely worth trying. You never know, it might end up flooring you.”

In den Online Casinos mit Lizenz aus Deutschland könnt ihr lediglich auf virtuelle Automatenspiele zurückgreifen.
Nicht berücksichtigen müsst ihr im Casino ohne Limit das Einzahlungslimit von 1.000€ pro Monat.
Alle Casinos, die mit einer Lizenz einer anderen europäischen Regulierungsbehörde
agieren, müssen diese Vorgaben nicht beachten.
Wichtig ist immer – egal ob im Neukunden- oder im Stammspieler-Bereich – dass die Bonus Offerten an faire Wettanforderungen geknüpft sind.
Belohnt werden die Einzahlungen beispielsweise mit Reload-Boni oder mit
Freispielen. Roulette führt die Sektion der Tischspiele
in einem Casino ohne Tischlimit an, wobei Blackjack natürlich nicht zu kurz kommt.
Für die Freizeitspieler sind vornehmlich die Automaten mit einer niedrigen bis mittleren Varianz geeignet.
Wer ein Casino ohne 1 Euro Limit gefunden hat, will natürlich
nicht nur ohne Limit spielen, sondern gleichzeitig ein umfangreiches
Game-Portfolio vorfinden. Wer die besten Boni, Spiele und App für höhere Einsatzlimits hat, das zeigt unsere die Toptabelle.
