Things that are awesome about North World:

• The world-building: it takes place in modern-day Canada, except that oh, btw, there’s demons and talking bears, and heroes whose job it is to protect everyone from them.
• The hilarious dialogue. (When Conrad, the everyguy hero, attacks a shlubby guy in his house for supposedly being a demon-summoner, he pounces on his bookshelf: “What’s all this? These are all sci-fi books.” Non-demon-summoner: “There’s nothing wrong with explorative genre fiction.”)
• Conrad’s librarian/bookstore-owner ex, Emily.

Things that are less awesome about North World:

• Conrad’s abrupt transformation from lone-wolf fighter dude to warm ‘n fuzzy family man.
• The shoddy printing — I get ink all over my fingers every time I pick it up.

Things I’m still torn about:

• The webcomic-esque art. Is it amateurish, or charming? At first I thought the former, but now that I’m looking at it again, it’s grown on me.
