From the celebrated creators behind Starman and Super Friends comes this new magical tale of crime and theft in the world of bourgeoise hospitality. "Welcome To the Maynard!" This is a hotel unlike any other. A place where every guest and staff member has magic in their veins. This is a hotel for magicians, witches, and otherworldly beings. This is also where Phillipa (Pip) Dale begins her first day as the hotel's new bellhop (and trainee house detective) and where she is immediately thrust into a mystery involving an enchanted hotel theft whose daring thefts are deadly. This hotel is a magical, wonderful, dangerous place more
Pippin Dale's troubled past gives her a philosophical view of life. While Pip makes friends with the magical hotel staff, she must be on her best behavior to avoid incurring the wrath of the strict management. Pip must keep calm and carry on as if the guests are in no danger while she protects them from being robbed, injured, or killed by a teleporting thief in Welcome To The Maynard #1. Read Full Review
Welcome To The Maynard #1 is a light and breezy comic that is reminiscent of the frantic and stylish cartoon interstitials that would play between larger episodes on Cartoon Network, but it has enough going for it to justify an ongoing series. Read Full Review
The plot is very generic with a very generic main character. Think of it as mashing up Downton Abbey with Harry Potter and an old timey mystery story. Sounds kind of intriguing as all of these elements appeal to me but it doesn’t really deliver, I am indifferent to the art, though it does suit the story rather well. I guess I was hoping for a return to the magic of Robinson like Leave it to Chance, which I really enjoyed. Not sure I would return for the next issue, unless there is nothing else to grab that week.
