I read the first issue, and it held my interest enough that I got the full volume. I dig the art style and the black male magicians. The artwork is gorgeous, stylistic, and colorful. I could do without the N-word, but I enjoy the dialogue. The narrative boxes are a teensy-bit small, so I wish those were bigger. I like the quintessential underdog story, and this is no different though it can be confusing, at times.

The rivalry/connection/brotherhood between Spencer and Aaron, Overseer, the doggone daddy, and the corruption and secrecy of the Aegis is anchoring me to this story. I want more of Monique too.
