Not sure if want.
On one hand, ElfQuest was very formative when I was in high school. But so were Hammer Horror films (Christopher Lee will always be my Count Dracula) and the original Planet of the Apes. After a while, distance allowed me to see a lot of it as twee and a bit fixated on how wonderful having kids is. Almost every bad thing in the series past a certain point being linked to Winnowill was tiresome*. Recent revelations about Jink were both completely predictable and induced eye-rolling (not to mention, revelation with regards to Cutter's and Timmain's souls and Recognition with Skywise and boy this is the most roundabout way to get to Cutter x Skywise mpreg baby I guess).
But also, what was groundbreaking about ElfQuest was that it came out in the 1970s with every elf being omnisexual, the two main male characters were probably in some romantic relationship left undefined for decades (cf. remark about Cutter x Skywise mpreg baby), female characters were strong and demanded respect, and it swung hard into exploring xenophobia and war. I think, if the dialogue about gender, sexuality, racism, et al then was as nuanced as it is now, it might have done better.
Will wait and see. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to catch up with the comics.
*I have the same issues with DD's Lone Power being the big bad for nearly everything in the YW universe. And I get it, it's a young adult/mid grade(?) series and such, but after multiple books it just gets a bit boring.
