I was so excited for this comic. I even had grand plans that it could be used as crossover material to bring in friends and family who weren't "comic" readers but did love Jane Austen.
Look at it. Just look. I can't believe they used a Greg Land clone (har) in a comic that is supposed to appeal to GIRLS. They're going to take one look at the porn faces and slam it shut, with their belief that comics are out of touch and sexist totally verified.
Even the hair is insulting. There's dozens of DVDs directly in that time period. I can pop into Best Buy and get a collection of ten miniseries for $50. Hell, you could probably steal them off the internet if the artist was that lazy. Why not use THOSE for photo references?
