Leave It to Chance Volume 1: Shaman's Rain by Paul Smith, Jeromy Cox, James Robinson

4.0

This is a extremely fun comic series, equally well-suited to kids and adults. The series follows Chance Falconer, daughter of the famous occult expert Lucas Falconer. Chance very much wants to be trained as her father's successor, but he is reluctant to do so, thinking that fighting the occult is a man's job -- and also fearing that she will be killed the way Louise Falconer, Chance's mother, was. Ever irrepressible, Chance takes it upon herself to battle the forces of darkness anyway, accompanied by her pet dragon St. George. The plot is not exactly complex, but it's exciting, and the supporting cast is also a lot of fun. Paul Smith's artistic style is well-suited to the story: his art is very kinetic, and calls to mind both Jack Kirby and Tintin.
