Chapter III: THE BEAST. Maleficent's familiar, the crow, scours The Forbidden Kingdom, searching for threats to their master. The crow will encounter a strange creature, helpless and weak. And the crow must make a choice...destroy the creature, or show mercy? By SOO LEE (Carmilla: The First Vampire).
Due to its sheer simplicity and engaging sense of action, Maleficent #3 might be one of the single most memorable comics to come out so far this year. Lee isnt trying to do anything too complicated. Shes just telling a simple story of a simple conflict that isnt at all unlike a million others that play out in nature every single day on the planet. Its fun to see her bring it onto the comics page without substantial embellishment. Any other artist/writer would be tempted to add something in the way of additional story. The purity of Lees vision is captivating. Read Full Review
DISNEY VILLAINS: MALEFICENT #3 is a bizarre entry in the series because its nothing but a raven flying around the Dark Woods for nineteen pages to search for intruders. Theres no story, no plot, and except for the art, no reason to buy this comic. Read Full Review
There really is no ultimate point to Disney Villains: Maleficent #3, other than perhaps to show the elusiveness of Maleficents pet raven. What does this story ultimately accomplish though? It doesnt tell us anything new about Maleficent, nor does it present any new characters of any significance. This was a poor story. Hopefully the next issue will be better. This is supposed to be set before the events of the Sleeping Beauty movie. It would be much more intriguing if they showed us how Maleficent first encountered King Stefan. It would give us a bit of background into why she wasnt invited to Auroras christening. Instead, we get the adventures of her raven. Read Full Review
This was good but I didn't want to pay for a cat chasing a bird with no dialogue for an entire comic. Pretty art though.
