The story - while not the most original concept in the comic world - is well-told and structured. The artwork also matches the tone and mood of the story. While I would like to see a bit more on-the-edge-of-your-seat action later there is nothing to complain about so far. Read Full Review

Gutter Magic #2 struggled with the dialogue and artwork, but it did expand the world and keep your interest piqued with the overall story. It had plenty of action, good drama, dark magic, and some fun humor. It's not the most well-polished story, but it is a fun and intriguing story. Read Full Review

I'm concerned about whether or not the plot can delve deeper into its lore without stumbling over its own feet or ignoring character growth. However, I'm all-in-all optimistic for Gutter Magic's future issues. Read Full Review
