Mystery Society by Steve Niles

5.0

I love this comic intensely. Both the writing and art are excellent. The dialogue is clever, the characters are charming, and the art is expressive in a distinct style that matches the writing perfectly. I'm also pleased to see a female character whose femininity and sexuality is not a huge deal (sadly, a rarity in comics); Secret Skull is the type of character that would only be a male in most other works. My one criticism is that it's far too short! This definitely feels like the first arc of an ongoing series rather than a mini, and some plot points in the last issue feel rushed. Besides that, I absolutely adored it.

Also its cast includes the brain of Jules Verne in a robot body, which pretty much guarantees five stars in and of itself.
