Description
Leon Redbeard takes a strike at one of the many elf assassins following him and the Stonekeeper in book two!

Leon has got to be one of my most favourite characters in the Amulet graphic novel series created by the talented Kazu Kibuishi and his team. It is also published by the well known children's book publishers Scholastic.

I really enjoyed reliving this scene, Kazu's awesome at action sequences. These dramatic sequences in the series keep you on the edge of your seat. He adds an interesting dynamic pacing to the story from time to time which is fantastic for comic readers like myself.

I met up with Mr. Kibuishi very briefly at Comic Con and he kindly autographed something for me even when I explained to him that I didn't bring my books with me for the holiday to Canada and United States (I wanted to keep my luggage light for the long journey). Nevertheless he appreciated the compliment I gave him and he just picked up one of those brilliant promo postcards of the Amulet series and drew something on it - who would have guessed that he drew my favourite character?

This one's for your Mr. Kibuishi, thank you for creating such an epic series and I thank you also for allowing myself to practice my newfound colouring skills inspired from Genzonman. Hope you guys like it!

Oh and also! Be sure to get his latest book - 'The Last Council', don't miss it!
