A gripping story with wonderful visuals! But when a journey to reach the next town over is described as long and dangerous, I was a bit surprised by how quickly the story got through it. I just wish we could feel the weight of the journey a bit more, rather than just skip ahead to the destination
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
Intriguing world set up. I look forward to the next book.
This story both feels reminiscent of classic fantasy such as Ursula Le Guin, and looking forward in the fantasy genre. Well written character dynamics, a world that feels tangible and melancholic, and a magic system that inspires your imagination and feels familiar. Clever writing and dialog and the world is given time to be quiet. Verse as given me a breath of fresh air that can only be found deep in the woods when magic is most alive. I will sing it's praises endlessly!
I really loved this webcomic: both the story and the art!
Verse is a lovely book with expressive, emotional art, great characters (and charact4er designs) and aa world and plot that has me really excited for the next volume.We follow Fife, whose dream is to apprentice to a blacksmith in another town and become a master himself. But on the way, he loses his horse and runs into a young woman named Neitya who can use magic. And that's a problem, because magic is supposed to be dangerous and evil. But she just seems lost and afraid.Together, they travel on...
Beautiful, compelling, and incredibly well done. From the story to the STUNNING art and colours, the whole book is an epic fantasy story about magic, power, and fighting for what you believe in.
Amazing!
Fantastic graphic novel with unique plot and magic systems.I can't wait for volume 2.Galley via Edelweiss.
Loved the art-work, but the story was a little patchy in parts and the world-building could have been stronger. I would keep following the story, though.
okay i am IN LOVE the art is so great and honestly the world-building and story is super compelling too!! love how diverse it is!!!!
Nothing too groundbreaking yet but definitely intriguing and enough to want book two sooner rather than later.
A truly phenomenal graphic series that delves you into a well rounded world with unique characters and a magic system that is just *chef's kiss* magnifico. I have bragged about this comic to everyone who will listen, and I have forced many friends to read it, and they have all fallen in love with it too. So, you know, read it.In a post-magic world, where "the song" has fallen silent to humanity, our protagonist: Fife, sets out to become a blacksmith and change his future. Little does he know jus...
Fantasy isn’t my go-to genre, except when it comes to witches and magic. I really enjoyed the magical elements, world building, and character development. I’m happy to know that this will be a trilogy because I need to know what happens next, and I’d like more backstory about the Vel and how magic disappeared. Also, the art is magnificent and pulls you into the story even more.
Yessss this is such a beautiful graphic novel. I think I saw a tumblr or twitter post about this ages ago and preordered it on the description alone and I was not disappointed. The art is beautiful throughout, I love the character design, and the world building and plot is exciting and solid. Very excited for book two, what an effective cliff hanger I am dying
Arrow in zombie's eye! Yuck!
This series is absolutely gorgeous and has a super intriguing world that I am dying to learn more about.
I saw Verse sitting on the shelf at Barnes & Noble one day and took a chance on it. I haven’t seen any friends reading it or heard anything about it. This has everything I love about classic Fantasy… Magic, mystery, and a lot of death.Fife (whom I thought was female in the beginning, but is male) comes from a small town and while traveling to a large city to become a weaponsmith, he gets lost on his way. A stranger in the woods creates “verse” on his hand to help guide him (verse is magic). All
I've been following Verse for a couple of years, after randomly backing the first Kickstarter because it just looked cool. And I was right! The art is amazing and inspiring, and the story fun and intriguing. It dabbles in all the good stuff: unique magic systems, found families, a beautiful setting, and a villain with a great wardrobe. Can't wait for the next book!
