With his family torn apart and their home destroyed, Kevin Matchstick is left to his own limited resources to try and save them all. Delving deep, he seeks an artifact that will help provide protection for his daughter, even as Magda and Hugo take steps to escape their luxury prison cell.
All of it is coming to an end. A few more issues and the last chapter of Mage closes. While it's not present within the script or art elements, there is an air of solemnity here. Because it means that as Kevin and the others ready themselves, it's going to be over soon. Almost too soon. Read Full Review
With just a few more issues in front of us the sense of everything really coming together is front and center. Both Magda and Kevin are aligning everything they need to be ready and engaged with events while we also see why the Gracklethorns are idling a bit in a way that makes sense. It's a good book just in seeing the parent/child dynamics play out with the mix of magic and how they each treat their respective kids. Wagner's artwork and the color work continues to be strong and there are some really great pages throughout, particularly the whole Merrow piece for me. It continues to be a very fun book.

As much as, I was a bit bewildered, there is a lot of groundwork laid down for an epic showdown for Good vs Evil! Read Full Review
