There's a certain charm to his art that's both simplistic and incredibly detailed. Pages leap to life as Priz flexes his art skills. The character designs are unique and the colors are perfect for this art style. |

Everfrost #4
Oct 6, 2021 |
Everfrost is a series that takes the reader on an emotional journey, particularly where Van is concerned. While certain plot beats can be confusing or even quite shocking, there's a certain peace in the end that makes it all worth it. It's clear Lindsay knew what he wanted to do with this series the minute he sat down to write it -- and Kivela's pencils bring that world to life quite effortlessly. |

WhenTrial of Magnetohas its highs, they are very high -- and the title's lows can be a bit puzzling. |

Unfortunately, issue #3 is definitely the weakest of the story thus far because of how it meanders around, making one wonder how much more concise this plot would be if itwasjust anotherX-Factorarc instead of this blown-out miniseries. But, what Trial of Magneto#3 does best is set up its next issue with that shocking reveal. |
