A review by eishe
Wayward, Book 1 by Jim Zub
3.0
Xavier should have gone to Japan as well.
I picked up the latest Imagecomics bundle for the full price mainly because I really loved the art in Wayward preview and it did not disappoint. I loved everything about the visual side - rich colors, character design, backgrounds, the general cuteness of everything (even though I'm usually drawn to darker and more toned down designs). I also really enjoyed the artists' notes at the last pages as well about character design and digital composition.
The story/plot however seems to be a hot mess that's all over the place. There's almost no justification for character actions and the plot seems to be the characters fighting increasingly difficult monsters and gaining more power.
4.5/5 for the art, 2/5 for the story.
