Review

- "Intended for a wider market, this version only hang Humor is less present, the baddest and the presence hero 's Hébus is almost anecdotal Critics see it as a marketing release ....
... changes to the specifics of the format make it a 'next' interesting for those who love this series / world which is well developed ...." [1]

- "Lanfeust Quest is not a simple transposition of the Franco-Belgian series Lanfeust of Troy Manga. While the original frame remains but Arleston and Ludo Lullabi achieve perfect adaptation taking into account the specificities of support ...." [2]

- "... Definitely adapting Lanfeust manga format is a success that we look forward to continuing to read." [3]

- "... The authors now seem to have finished their moult transition to manga, adapting happily to the codes of shounen, that fits the character of Lanfeust and his little band ...." [4]

- "... It must be said, the designs are superb Ludo Lullabi perfectly mastered his designs and the new character design is a success no box is sloppy and rendering is very dynamic ...." [5]
