This ticks many of graphic novel boxes I have, magic, a background of chaos wars; centuries old, fast paced and immaculate graphics. Sadly though some of the character development or rather lack there of lets it down.
That said its still a lot better than a some of stuff I've read recently so I will be looking forward to the next installment whenever it might appear.

Netflix'in çizgi roman çıkardığını duyunca hemen çok bekletmeden okumak istedim.
Çizgi romanı okuyanların pek çoğu yetişkinler için Harry Potter ya da Fantastic Beasts gibi hissettirdiğini söylemiş ancak ben ikisini de henüz okumadığım ya da izlemediğim için bu konuda herhangi bir yorumda bulunamıyorum.
Çizgi romanın bu bölümünde büyük bir büyücü ailesinden ve bu ailenin tek tek üyelerinden bahsedildi ve sırayla avlanacaklarmış gibi görünüyor.
Konu ilgimi çekti ve çizimleri de mükemmel. Umarım kaç cilt olacak ise sonraki ciltleri de bir an önce çıkarırlar ve ilk cildin bölümlerini okuduktan sonra boşluğa düşmem.

I was only going to give this three stars because I honestly thought the twist was a cheap way to end the main conflict in the book. But I actually can see where it came from. The entire story focuses on Cordelia breaking every rule. So it was really no surprise she had read the Orichalcum from cover to cover.andy5185's review

Wickedly fun and stellar artwork. Madame Albany and the Venetian were fabulous.

I really enjoyed this stand alone and was surprised by the emotion in it! It was recommended to me by the staff at my local comic book store and I’m happy they did. Definitely was unsure because of the giant NETFLIX tag on it but overall I was impressed!
