Folklords #1is the opposite of what you would expect to happen in most fantasy tales. Usually, in stories like the Chronicles of Narnia, Wizard of Oz, and Harry Potter, people leave our world for the world of magic. Characters seek an escape or a solution to a problem that endangers their everyday lives. In this story, the characters seek answers in our world. Read Full Review
Folklords #1 is one of the strongest new fantasy comics of 2019, blending as it does nigh-perfect execution from the creators with what feels like a wholly new take on the genre. Kudos. Read Full Review
Folklords is both an homage and a reconstruction of the fantasy genre. It will feel familiar at moments before it distinguishes itself from its roots and inspiration. The writing is poignant, the art is enchanting, and I'm really excited to see where the future chapters will take us. Read Full Review
I think BOOM! has another hit on their hands with Folklords, and by looking at the rate of the first issue selling out, I would wager I am right. Kindt has been one of my favorite writers since I discovered him when I checked out MIND MGMT, and I have been a fan ever since. Folklords #1 gives us a great set up to a tale that might be of two worlds but tied together by one destiny highly recommended. Read Full Review

Folklords look set to be a wonderful work, teasing out ideas of conformity and rebellion. Im maybe a touch older than the intended audience but I whole-heartedly enjoyed the escapism and i'M eager to read more.

Folklords #1 was an interesting start to what is sure to be a fascinating and memorable miniseries. It has proven to be fast-paced and witty, pushing Ansel's story to a nearly comical extreme. It will truly be interesting to see where this series goes, given how many issues it has left. Read Full Review
The issue was an absolute delight, so much so that I re-read it straight away to start admiring the artwork and background details I may have glossed over on first reading. The biggest disappointment now is waiting weeks until the next issue hits shelves. Read Full Review
The quest has started, and the path is set, where it will end is a mystery. Especially given the hints of the picture behind the scenes. We’re introduced to some likable characters that are as interesting as the world built around them, and the mystery at the center of it. All that is left to do is to tag along and see what is revealed during the journey. Read Full Review
