Final verdict:
It's decent. Story wise and artwise it remains more or less consistent, but there was one panel that confused me. It is something that should have been caught in the early writing, editting phase by the artist, writer and Pete. Plus there were two adds in between key moments except of one and that kind of made my skin crawl.
And I kind of wanted to know more about the Great Seer. because he reminds me of my (spoiler alert) Dark Shamans in Jaguar Warrior Ch2.
The second issue handled this a lot better.
As a series it should have been a two parter instead of 3.
You won't miss a lot if you skip issue 1. Just pick up #2-3 instead and leave the rest behind
For issue 3: 75/100 Soft recommend
For the whole miniseries: 75/100. It's decent. It's not the best Alterna title, but it is also not the worst. .

And if you want to see what I created with the help of my hardworking friend (NEF).
Jaguar Warrior Issue 1: Death of the Family (ENG) is available on thejaguarwarrior.com as a responsive webcomic for both mobile devices and desktops. And on globalcomix.
And if you like what you saw. Go to Gumroad and pick up the digital edition for €2.00 to help out me and my hardworking friend and artist, editor NEF.
The reason for the €2.00 price tag is that I want to combine chapter 1-3, 1-4 or 1-5 into one print volume.

For physical copies in English (Spanish is sold out, but I could print more if there is a market for it) you could go to the following link and get one for €8.00 (unfortunately shipping costs are something I can not control. My apologies in advance). I try to ship the order in 5-10 business days:

And last, but not least. Chapter 2 is finally 99% done. Only the cover remains. Chapter 3 is 100% pencilled.
The official release date of Chapter 2 will be revealed at the beginning of February.
