Sam Sarkar, creator and writer of Caliber, talks with Bob and John of the comicbookpage.com about the upcoming paperback collection of Caliber: First Canon of Justice. Look for it soon in June.
From visionary writer Sam Sarkar comes a stunning reinvention of the Arthurian legend where the might of the Round Table rides the Old West with guns blazing.
In the far reaches of the Old Pacific Northwest lies a world where lawlessness runs rampant and only a mystical six-shooter forged from the metal of the legendary Excalibur can balance the scales.
With Caliber in hand and posse at his side, Arthur must fulfill his destiny as the Lawbringer to defeat evil and restore order to his home.
Soon to be a major motion picture to be produced by Johnny Depp's production company Infinitum Nihil and Radical Pictures.

If you haven't seen this new site, you definitely should. They have a lot of great content with interview, reviews and articles. Here is their review on the Hardcover collection of Caliber: First Canon of Justice.
"The first thing you’ll notice about Caliber is the breathtaking art. Resembling something akin to lifelike anime brought to the page, Garrie Gastonny’s work is so lovely, so perfectly filled with perspective and depth, that it’s worth staring at for long periods of time. It’s that good, and it’s impressive to see Radical Books embracing such advanced work so early on. The art is a wonderful complement to Sam Sarkar’s fun story, a retelling of the Arthurian legend vis-à-vis the Old West. Caliber in this case refers to a six-gun that only one man will be able to fire. For the rest of the world, the gun isn’t loaded, but for Arthur Pendergon, it will fire the power of the heavens themselves."

"All-in-all, Caliber is a great series and a must have for any comic book fan. I’d also highly recommend this graphic novel to anyone with an interest in Arthurian Legend. Next time you’re at your local comic shop pick up a copy -- you won’t regret it!"

"Caliber is imaginative and dynamic, and Garrie Gastonny’s artwork is gorgeous"
Dread Media reviews Caliber: First Canon of Justice #3 and Hercules: The Thracian Wars #3
Have a listen to what Desmond of Dread Media has to say.

" this first issue of the five-issue series looks fantastic. From the grandeur of the woods surrounding Telacoma to the claustrophobic desolation of the reservation, Gastonny and his team have made Caliber a very attractive book."
"Maniacs interested in Arthurian lore or those dying for a quality Western comic—for there aren’t many to begin with—may want to give Caliber a try."
"With a great story and great art "Caliber" is one of the best books I've read in awhile."

Thanks go out to Dan Grendell of The Comics Pants for giving not one but two rave reviews
Caliber
Sarkar does a great job of establishing mood, creating a feel for his characters, and making you care about them right away, and I’m already curious to see what will happen next. Gastonny has a rich, very realistic style that draws you in quite firmly, and he is aided quite a bit by some spectacular colors by Alexander Alexandrov and Svetlin Velinov.
Hercules
Moore tells an epic tale that feels like it came straight from the mouth of a Greek orator, and Wijaya’s realistic style really brings the impact of the brutality home.

It should go without saying; this is Radical Comics at the highest caliber!

If this issue is indicative of what we can expect from Radical Comics in the future, then I'm more than a little excited.

Simply, the artwork of Caliber is among the best I've ever seen in a comic book. It's by Garrie Gastonny and it's all done in a painted style that just leaps off the page.
With an extra early preview/review Mike and Des at http://www.earth-2.net/ dig into Caliber: First Canon of Justice #1.
Thanks very much guys
