Skottie Young is adept at imaginative world-building, and his new story, Twig, sees him teaming with artist Kyle Strahm to deliver an interesting book that will appeal to all adventure and fantasy fans. Read Full Review

Young and Strahm bring their mutual storytelling sensibilities together in a merger that exploits both creators' strengths in all the best ways. Youngs voice and storytelling prowess is evident in every panel, while Strahms illustrations are just perfect for this type of story. To paraphrase the song Colors of the Wind, every rock, tree, and creature has a life, a spirit, and a name. Theres a remarkable sense of continuity from one setting to the next, and theres often a subtle creepiness that hints at a darkness resting just below the surface. His artwork is complemented by colorist Jean-Francois Beaulieus extraordinary pallet, and the lettering by Nate Piekos adds to the books delightfully strange personality. Read Full Review

The art of Twig gives it the feeling of a Saturday morning cartoon and it fits so well into the story.  Strahms art has a dynamic feel that will keep readers moving forward and feeling as though they are on the journey with Twig and Splat.  All in all, the style and colors fit the light tone of the story and amplify the fantastical within this new world.

Twig #1 is a good start to a brand new fantasy world that readers of any age can appreciate and get lost in. Younger readers may love it a tad more since Twig is a little bit of a mystery at this juncture, but there's enough here to make you come back for issue #2. Read Full Review

Young and Strahm play off each other wonderfully, and the end result is a strong start to a world that can stand proudly next to its nominal predecessors/influences of Bone and The Dark Crystal. Read Full Review

TWIG #1 is a fun original idea and displays how far comic books have come. Read Full Review

Twig #1 takes some big swings and for the most part, it hits them out of the park, primarily allowing its stunning artwork to do the heavy lifting and introducing bold new concepts on every page. Read Full Review

Twig #1 is a cute and fun start to the series. The designs are fantastic and while opening feels a bit short, it's definitely enough to get readers to want to come back. Again, my issue is that it's a monthly release. The opening hints to me this might have been a stronger read as either a graphic novel or extended/oversized issues. We'll see if that plays out but it's a world I want to explore more of with creatures I want to hug and hang out with. Read Full Review

The darkness in the issue isnt horrifying. Twig is unlikely to become gruesome or grotesque. It serves to further define the cuteness of the characters in the foreground. Lowering death into the frame on the final page suggests that theres going to be more than a little menace for the little blue guy and his glow-able roommate. Young is easing into the darkness, though. There is quite a lot of room for the unexpected on the course of the four remaining issues of the series.  Read Full Review

This was an absolutely beautiful comic. The art is fantastic, and I'm a sucker for a quest narrative. Looking forward to this limited series.

Unlike anything on the shelves currently. Fantastic read. The art is beautiful.

Visually gorgeous with a nuanced, fun storyline ahead of us. Really looking forward to this one.

Great first comic. The art is fun and I want more of this world asap. I love the tandem and this journey. I feel like this could be a great buddy adventure video game one day. Very excited to see how this journey unfolds.

great art and a solid introduction.

I loved this first issue. I just finished to read it and, oh boy, it started very good. Although we do not know much about the Twig past, the only thing that matters is that he is late for his first day of job. Storywise, the first issue introduce us to Twig, his friend Splat (very funny creature), and Twig's first job assignment. He will have to discover what is the function of a mysterious red stone/item. From here, his journey will start and Twing will have to find the Pathsayer, a creature who will guide him on the right path!

The art is top notch. I love the vibrant color of the environment and how all the characters are designed. The panel where Mount Guphin is introcuded is amazing. Moreover, by the end of the issue there are few slides depicting Twig'journey to the Pathslayer and they are just peerfect.

Great start for this serie! more

Bone with prettier colors.

The art is great.

Often, comics have too much exposition, but I think this one needed a bit more for me to feel invested on whatever this mission is supposed to be for.

I can't give it too high a grade, just based on the lack of story but, it seems like a good enough start on what could be a great little adventure book.

literally a direct rip off of adventure time???
