Hm...
So, what happened? Did he cut off one of it's beard/tentacle things?
Anyway, looks cool and I'm eager for more.
I like how the art had a much more feral feel than Chandra's story (from what I recall anyway)

If he did what I think he did to the Ursoth...
What kind of pack is he going to end up with?!

Interesting, so Garruk "absorbs" the beats entity within him whenever he defeats them. I assume he can then summon them in future hunts. The last line of the comic was the best.
Thats about it in a nutshell, so yeah, we still dont know much about him. (Or any of the other Aetherwalkers)
Fun read none the less, well done Doug Beyer.

The art was pretty sweet at the very least.

Interesting. I like how this leaves the possibility of him being an eventual hunter of other planeswalkers. He could absorb the spark and what not. Bravo. Can't wait to see more.

This is cool stuff. I look forward to seeing what else you guys put out along those lines.
With that in mind - a suggestion: Garruk's voice was very generic, and kind of jarringly "real world" to fit his character.
"Let's do this."
?
Really?
Okay . . .
Especially if the epsodes are going to be this short, more specificity and more efficient character development would probably be good.
It might just be that the text and the art don't really line up in terms of representational / presentational. The talk is very conversational, but the art is much rawer and more expressionistic. When there's a gap like that, it risks making comic function a little clunkily.

Kudos to WotC for bringing this to the fans. it's definitely a nice way to wet our appetites  I'm sure some fanboi comic lovers will pick you up on technical details but "MEH!" to them

Agreed. Some of the clichés used are still whoopingly awesome - like "the rage of everything I've hunted" and the final lines. Others just made me cringe and distracted from the rest of the awesomeness. Here's hoping future aetherwalker comics will give the characters their own voices, not those of stock archetypes with new vocabularies.
That being said, "Part 1"? Nice.
