Maestros #1 was not what I was expecting it to be before I started reading. It's a great story filled with great art. The characters might be a little lacking as of yet, but it's only the first issue and I'm into it already so I'm down with wherever this thing's going. I am hooked. I loved this book.

MAESTROS #1 is a visually stunning fantasy comic that provides fans of the genre with over-the-top artwork and cosmic lore. Read Full Review
The mark of a good story teller is to present the reader with something they have encountered before as something new and interesting. Skroce has done this with the first issue and the reader will be left excited to see what comes next. Read Full Review
Maestros #1is the most fun you'll have this week. The art is top notch and the story is insane. It should be in everyones pulllist. Read Full Review
I recommend this book, as long as you do not mind a little swearing, a little violence, a little nudity, and a lot of craziness. If you like books like Head Lopper, or other out there original stories that are trying to do their own thing, and incredible art, then give Maestros a shot. Its insane, in all the right ways.

Maestros #1 is more than just fantasy, sci-fi, or even a story. It's a fun journey into a whole new world of magic and chaos. If you're a fantasy fanatic than you should definitely pick this up; it's definitely geared towards fantasy fans. The issue is a great beginning for Maestros; however,I do hope that there is more character development as the series moves forward. Read Full Review
Sumptuous visuals make this adult fantasy blast into the stratosphere. The story took an unnecessary turn to the past, but that's just my preference for linear storytelling. This is definitely a book to follow, but keep it out of the hands of younger comic readers! Read Full Review
You may think you've read every variation on the "ordinary kid discovers they're part of a secret magical community" fantasy trope, but Maestros manages to put plenty of new spin on an old favorite. Read Full Review
Theres also a mystical talking sword named Loyal Backstabber, which really just combines my two loves of clever wordplay and sentient weaponry. Read Full Review
Overall this is an epic first chapter of what seems to be a promising adventure and I look forward to seeing whats next. Read Full Review
Gore, foul language, comedy, and a being who makes small dicks big makes this series worth checking out even though this storyline will remind you of like"at least 6 different fantasy plots. Read Full Review
Maestros #1 is an entertaining, yet flawed comic that shows much potential. The mediocre script is elevated by the outstanding art. While it may not be the most impressive debut issue, the visuals by Skroce and Stewart make this one series worth keeping an eye on for at least the first few issues. Read Full Review
i loooooooove it!
Steve Skroce and Dave Stewart knocked this outta the park! For me a 10 out of 10! Great art, with excellent writing to go perfect for this magical and deceitful world they have created. After reading this I added it to my pull. Image looks like it has another hit on it's hands..
Beautiful coloring. Fun story. Laughed out loud.
I don't know what to say. The story is so entertaining, characters are interesting and art so beautiful that this is definitely worth buying and it is one of the best first issues I read this year.
Fantastic first issue. Count me in!
Hilarious and fantastical, go buy it!
Super funny stuff going on here. The great balance of action and world-building has me excited to read more.
i took a chance on this. With all of the new series constantly being launched by Image, it's hard sometimes to decide which ones are just hype, and which ones are really good. I have to say, Maestros is really good.
It has a lot of familiar elements, but with just enough humor and pathos, not to mention great artwork, to give this a return visit.
An excellent and funny first issue.
