First review is in! Rise of the Magi, published by Top Cow from Image I was particularly looking forward to reading Rise of the Magi, having heard writer on the series Marc Silvestri describe all the book’s strange premises and humor in his own words at Wondercon and being taken over by its wild flights of fancy as he did so. It sold me before I saw the book, and when I did, the art by Turkish illustrator Sumeyye Kesgin with colors by Jasen Smith seemed so uniquely balanced with Silvestri’s outlook that a world where magic is a way of life (resulting in many a joke like Walnut-phones) and violence and danger are nevertheless presented with their own brand of realism confirmed my enthusiasm. This magic-carpet repair boy hero is going far this year, I predict. This issue #0 will be followed in the same month by issue #1 from Top Cow so get on board now for a powerhouse of talent in this new series. bleedingcool/2014/04/30/twenty-four-more-reviews-of-twenty-four-free-comic-book-day-2014-titles-avatar-the-last-airbender-far-from-wonder-rise-of-the-magi-entropy-worlds-of-aspen-fcbd-previews-tesla-wayward-sons-shadow-child/
