This debut issue reminded me a lot of Abbott with historical fiction mixed with dark magic and fantastic art. Abbott ended way too soon, so I'm hopingTommy Gun Wizards goes on a lot longer than the former did. Ward, Kivel, and co. are on to something here that is as close to wizardry as it can get.

While not my favorite period in time I was definitely curious to see what Christian Ward would bring to the project. It's definitely detailed and fun as it takes us to 1931 Chicago and all that comes with an Elliot Ness usage and there's definitely appeal there. Sami Kivela really does a great job with the look of the book in bringing it to life with fantastic costume design and some solid settings. I'll definitely stick with the series to see where it takes us with Capone and the magic he's playing with a sit could go pretty much anywhere. It's a good mashup concept that as a lot of potential to still explore. Read Full Review

There's still a ways to go with the worldbuilding on this one, but after one book, I definitely give Ward and company the benefit of the doubt. Read Full Review

While using Ness and Capone in these roles doesn't add too much of value to the story, the larger Prohibition backdrop blends quite nicely with the fantasy elements of Ward's script. Right from the jump, Ward juxtaposes the religious zeal behind the real Volstead Act with the use of magic, implicitly tying this 20th Century religious judgment to the Puritan witch hunts of the past. It gives the whole tale an added fervor, and makes me wonder what ultimate moral judgment on magic the series will offer by the end. Read Full Review

The setting, premise, and characters of this series are a solid start for a series, but the shortfalls of the art and the coloring are growing pains that this young comic title will have to mature through to reach its full potential and its largest audience. I'm holding out hope that this comic will survive long enough to find its feet and its readership. Read Full Review
