Magic Vol. 1 is a beautiful beginning to a fantasy series based on the card game, “Magic the Gathering.”

The story is quite busy for a first volume, bringing together a number of characters and introducing a fairly complex system of magic.

At least, it seemed like a lot to me as I’ve never played Magic the Gathering and have no idea how it goes. To those who are familiar with the game, this might be less of an issue.

The artwork is gorgeous. I love when talented artists team up with great writers to produce graphic novels. I believe that is the case with this book.

I’m interested to see where this goes. Recommended for fantasy readers ages 14 plus because of some violence.

Thanks for reading!
