Comic Book Review: New, Independent and Edgy.

Mythica Issue #1

by Matt Campbell, William Tooker and McLain McGuire

Magnus MacDracken is running around behind enemy lines during World War I in a kilt with a claymore.  He has a squad with him of angry Scots, those are rare, dealing mayhem and trying to dodge Germans and Daemons.  Somehow, Magnus’ behind the lines shenanigans communicate themselves of a prim young Belgian woman named Kim who is engaged to a Doctor Yosef (psychoanalyst) and the triangle is thus formed.  Magnus has otherworldly abilities which I suspect will be revealed in future issues.  Volume I kind of leaves us with a hint as a humongous daemon breaks a sword over Magnus back and he is still in the fight, amazing his squad.  It would amaze me.

The artwork is awesome, the story is fun and the next thing I want to learn is about the German uniformed dude with the red eyes.  The cover states on the bottom “suggested for mature readers” and I suggest the consumer heed this warning.  Four out of five enjoyment points are hereby awarded for art, storyline and stepping out on the edge.
