RotB reviewed on The Cimmerian

Deuce Richardson once again covers a RBE title for The Cimmerian – and offers a completely thorough and compelling argument for its greatness.

Yes, you read that correctly. Other than the first two tales (which just can’t seem to get any love ;) ), Deuce breaks down the following 19 in Rage of the Behemoth. His historical comparisons and references to authors and characters and stories and series is astounding. In fact (and I hesitate to admit this), there are citations that I do not know. Never before has any project with my name attached to it received a review that has educated me so. Or will educate me so. I read the review five minutes ago – I have yet to look up and learn a few things. EDIT 9/9/09: It seems Mr. Richardson continues to add to his review, as there are now additional links and art related to the previously existing and new historical references he offers – all of it utterly fantastic in my opinion.

Mr. Richardson addresses most every aspect of the anthology, from theme to appearance, art and artists to individual stories and many of their authors. Absent only comment on the thematic layout (habitats and story order), this is the closest example of my most favorite of reviews: analysis of the entire package.  Most pleasing is his salute to the authors and artists who make RotB what it is. My thanks to every single one of them for their excellent contributions.

About The Author

Jason
Jason M. Waltz is the founder and sole operator of RBE. A passion for heroic adventure fantasy drove him from comfortably reading it to sometimes writing it to occasionally reviewing it to carefully editing it to enthusiastically publishing it. Jason believes two things about the state of genre fiction: there will soon be a resurgence in the popularity of short fiction and in the popularity of heroic fantasy adventure, to include Sword & Sorcery. Jason plans for RBE to be a driving force in both.
