It is very rare in comics to find a new series that immediately appears with its own tone, world and characters that just seem so unique and different right out of the gate. Maestros does that. Number 1 issues are always hard, but this has some of the most potential Ive seen from a series.
More dick than I wanted to see, but has a pretty cool concept. The maestro is god, but moreso a magician and the main character (the Neil Gaiman lookin mofo) is about to inherit all that responsibilty/bullshit when dear old maestro dad is murdered (along with every one that would’ve inherited before our guy).
Awesome art and vivid colors. Some of the small panels are so incredibly detailed they could have filled a double page spread. The story is hilariously gruesome.
I actually finished the first Volume (1-6) last year but I comoletelt forgotten to review it. So I'm rereading this comic and giving it a long overdue review :)The story started when the Maestro (wizard king), Meethra Kahzar and his entire royal family have been massacred by forces of evil. And one of his royal flower dude was seen seeking his only banished wife, Margaret to inform her that her son might be in danger because the evil dude Mardok, zombie look alike wizard might be coming after he...
God damn, that was great! I was referred to this series by Brian Vaughan (Saga, Issue #47), and boy am I ever glad I took the time to check it out. The imagery is so magnificently drawn that you actually take the time to look at every little detail. We get a very solid introduction to all the characters, especially the main guy, Will. I was shocked several times throughout, especially when it didn't look so good for Will. Steve Skroce definitely knows what he's doing here and I can't wait to rea...
This series is a gem (surprise penis-shot included). The art is busy and complex, yet that suits the series. I even like the choice of colours. They're there, with many blues and purples -- yet these colours are muted and I imagine that's deliberate, as it suits the story mood incredibly well. There's magic and wonder, but all at a cost. I love the premise. I love the protagonist. I love how the story builds this world for the reader, and how our characters are fallible yet ever-learning. This s...
This was okay. I like bawdy humor as much as the next person, but it just felt like it never let up. Other than the constant pushing of the envelope it was a pretty basic setup for the guy who was not supposed to be king now has to take the role and he is grossly underprepared. I did enjoy how gruesome the artwork was, but I doubt I will continue on with this ever.
Nugenix Really Works!!! WOW! That was quite a first issue! Make no mistake, with the first few pages, with the past served up as prologue, we are introduced to what I am sure will be a story that is going to go down a very dark path. Then the story proper brightens up and lightens a room where what feels like common situations are presented in a prose that warns with its underlying oddness that "David Lynch Was Here!" - I'm confident that this series will have some truly " WTF" moments, and Stev...
I'll give it a 3'5. I really liked the originality of this comic. The characters are not the classic fantasy perfect blessed by light and I like that. And its art is very cool. I will the next ones, for sure!
The Maestro and his entire royal family have been murdered. Now, his banished son from Earth will inherit the Wizard King's throne along with a spell that turns its user into GOD. With enemies everywhere, will this Orlando-born millennial be able to keep his new magic kingdom? From STEVE SKROCE, the storyboard artist of The Matrix trilogy, the artist and co-creator of WE STAND ON GUARD and Doc Frankenstein, the writer / artist of Wolverine, and the artist of Amazing Spider-Man and ALAN MOORE’s Y...
