The Wizerd Vol. 1, Volume 1: And the Potion of Dreams! by Michael Sweater

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

I've been looking forward to this whimsical fantasy comic for ages, and it did not disappoint! A wizerd's peaceful existence is disrupted by the arrival of a tiny, feisty warrior princess. She wants to be a hulk, and isn't willing to wait and see if she'll just grow up into one. She badgers the wizerd into going on a quest with her to get the ingredients to a Wishing Potion. The wizerd agrees, only because they think they can get everything they need from a nearby all-stop loot shop in town. On the way they pick up an errant archer, even though, as the wizerd warns, once you pick up an archer you're only one step away from dungeon-crawling with a full crew of misfits... naturally nothing goes as smoothly as they expect! The art in this book is so fun, full of silly and delightful details, perfectly matched by the humorous and genre-aware dialogue. I really hope the creative team behind this one get to continue the series.
