AIPT - Brian Clements
Jun 06, 2018If the first issue is any indication, many magical mysteries are afoot behind the scenes, including the question of when the abandoned floating castle might plunge to the ground, destroying everything in its wake. Fun times. Gotta run. Late for a meeting on synergizing assets that should only last four hours. Text me on my iScroll. Read Full Review

Jun 04, 2018First issues of new comics normally feel like introductions. With Modern Fantasy #1, I felt like I was already part of this world, and simply was reading about old friends. The book is new, but this world, being well-built, already feels familiar. It's humorous and fun, with the potential to have a nice long run that will keep us interested for the foreseeable future.

Jun 13, 2018Dark Horse did well bringing Modern Fantasy to life; it's a pleasant change from the traditionally darker and heavier titles they usually focus on. Roberts and Gudsnuk's tale of a girl who gets what she wants and must decide what to do with it is one worth getting lost in " perhaps on the commute to that desk job you love to hate.

Jun 27, 2018Modern Fantasy starts quite well. Granted, I'm not a fan of the catalyst, but I also know that most readers aren't likely to be bothered by it or even dwell on it. It's just the thing that gets the adventure going, and we're all here for Sage's adventure. We know what type of character she is, and we understand her supporting cast which will be the reason to follow this story, not the catalyst. Adventure awaits in the next issue, and I for one will be there for it. Read Full Review
