When I first started reading this, it looked promising. It started great, even with some issues. The only thing I see with people complimenting the art, and it is, indeed very great. I love the decorated panels, very criative. But I hate the character designs. Klarion looks so different it looks like they took out everything that made the character unique. He doesn't look creepy anymore like Jack Kirby's version, neither has the Puritan clothes, they were replaced by some stereotypical teenager clothes. Even worse, he's older ( cause... Teens ) and his blue skin is also gone. No kidding, when I first saw him disguised as human I thought he was a girl. Also, Teekl is gone. One of the biggest characteristics of him was his magical cat, and now she's gone. Zell and Rasp are absolutely terrible. I like how they just took the Zell of Rapunzel and the Rasp of "Rasputin" and thought they were so creative. It's ridiculous. Well, at least they didn't call Rasp "Putin". Rasp is an boring character whatsoever, he doesn't even have something that resembles Rasputin, just the horrible name was heritage. Zell dresses like a 2000s Britney Spear's music video. As a goth teenager myself, I fear offended knowing that's how adults see how we dress. The story is cliche whatsoever. Generic plot where the protagonist stops a fight he has no involvement, just so that we know how good and badass he is. Zell's entire personality is a joke and a bad stereotype that didn't make me laugh. In a page where they talk about the characters they had the audacity to call her "a little chubby". Chubby? Did any of these people see an actual chubby girl? It's ridiculous and none of these characters seem believable, neither does Klarion himself.

This book is terrible and ended in a terrible way. Lots of light beans. Klarion's buddy bot looks more like Klarion than Klarion himself. In Jack Kirby's version Klarion used his magic in lots of creative way, in this book he uses magic like iron man uses his light beans. The finale is boring and ends with cliche. I don't care about the villain and honeslty I can't remember exactly what happened. At least Teekl showed up, so that he can be an ex machina. It's funny how we only see a little bit of Klarion and Teekl relationship at the last pages. Should've done this since the beggining. Klarion is a inconsistent character. He's not "neutral" or "conflicted" , he's just bad written and does whatever the plots needs him to do. I like how they try to portray him as evil as he punches a metal dog and talks shit about the buddy bots and Rasp's disgusting relationship with that Japanese sex dol they call robot. If I were Klarion I would the same thing and just vanish. He has no reason to care about these characters he just met and so does the reader. Is this the issue where Klarion imagines himself as a gangster, using guns and money with a girl on top of him in a very sexist and objectifying way? The page that shows the writer didn't get Klarion at all. HE'S A WITCH BOY. He doesn't need a gun neither money.
