"HEIRS AND GRACES," Part Two
Meet the Complainer: a surly goth of the aquatic-mammal variety and the perfect companion for our adventurous winged-monkey heroine, Qora. LET'S GO EXPLORING!
Ultimately, Angelic is nothing less than an utterly fascinating series packed with an almost tangible sense of adventure and rebellion, all wrapped up in a beautiful, pastel-shaded package. So be a goodmonk and pick this one up as soon as you possibly can. Read Full Review
Angelic #2 is an exciting chapter in Qora's tale, as we see her embark on a thrilling adventure with her new companion. Caspar Wijngaard's art is visually epic and beautiful, capturing the whimsical and curious nature of Qora perfectly. I find this to be an easy comic to immerse myself in, with a well-rounded story and lore to match. Read Full Review
The story is starting to grow and we're going to see some interesting side effects to our creatures working together. Read Full Review
Angelic is way more subtle than the flying monkeys would lead you to believe. This is a sophisticated deconstruction of the idea of myth that is both fun and thought-provoking at the same time. Read Full Review
Caspar Wijngaards rendition of Prices design gives life and color to the post-apocalypse in a way many stories are afraid to do. Soft pinks and blues make up most of the colorways, juxtaposed by the brown and grey of Qoras home kingdom (a decimated and unnamed city.) While conflict and struggle are important themes in ANGELIC, one cant help but get the feeling of being on vacation: a laid back look to match the action-free pages. This isnt a book about war, though with a climactic splash page near the end of the issue, theres some suggestion it may soon be. Read Full Review
And probably the best aspect of this entire book is that none of its complexity is obvious. You can't see any of the moving parts; it's just a fun, strange story. A magnetic journey. Read Full Review
At the end of the day, I do think theres something special here. Theres an important message and a neat world to be found. I even like the characters, kid-friendly though they may be. I just wish the speech patterns werent so annoying. They really hurt what should be a good time. Read Full Review
