So...
Who's read it? Like it or dislike it? Don't get the recent hype? Want to read it but haven't yet? Who has a complete set of first print issues 1 through 3?
Basically what I'm saying is...discuss
I have read the first issue and I dig it. It's not my usual bag, but the art is beautiful and charming. Really fun to look it. The story is interesting enough that I wanted to continue, but the art alone is worth it. I picked up issue 3 as well and am currently working on getting issue 2, I want first prints of all 3 for my little set.

It's about a cursed pirate girl, Doug.
Here's something from the creator, Jeremy Bastian:
Cursed Pirate Girl is an epic fairy tale of a cursed girl in search of her father. The only things she knows about her father is that she will find him on the Omerta Seas, and that he is a pirate captain.
The fantastic waters of the Omertas hold many strange and dangerous creatures and forgotten evils; enlisting the help of two armored swordfish and a parrot with a secret agenda, Cursed Pirate Girl sets out on the perilous journey to find her father among the remaining pirate captains. But instead of a glorious reunion, the scheming of interlopers leads her to resurrect her father's most dangerous foe. When her friends and allies fall beneath the terrible sword and sorcery of this old enemy, it is Cursed Pirate Girl who comes to face her father's bane.

It's done by Olympian Publishing. It has an Alice in Wonderland feel to it, in both the art and the story, at least it did to me. That was one of the first impressions that struck me.
It may not be for everyone though. And first prints are pricey and hard to come by right now, but my LCS guy said he would be getting another round of reprints soon. If/when that happens, it will be a lot cheaper to get ahold of the books.

The books just feel sort of special, to me. You don't see something like this every day.
