Writer Matt Wagner redefines the way we think about the five senses in "Extra Sensory," a 6-issue storyline featuring different interior art each issue by some of today's most talented female comics artists and covers by Mark Buckingham (FABLES)! Acclaimed newcomer Marley Zarcone (Forgetless) kicks things off in New York City, 1963.

This issue is sure to be the most visually impactful of the "Extra-Sensory" storyline. "Madame Xanadu," like "Jonah Hex," is one of those titles that almost never disappoint me. It is free from the trappings of continuity and consistently offers great art. When I buy it, it's never the first thing I read from the pile, but it never fails to be an entertaining read. Wagner's got a good thing going here, and this storyline seems like the perfect spot for new readers to slowly learn all about Madame Xanadu. Enter freely and unafraid. Read Full Review
