Mage is a great urban fantasy series. The first book is all set-up. There are some rough bits, but the sequential storytelling is top notch.

Fun. Worth reading as a fan of comics for a long time, and also to see how and where Matt Wagner really got his start.

This novel killed a few hours and was an incredibly easy read, but I wouldn't say that it was the most enthralling graphic novel that I have read. It felt all drama and no substance. All flamboyance and no emotional or gripping content.

Matt Wagner creates a very interesting aesthetic for his heroic adventure tale. His inexperience definitely shows, but this early work is still a great start to what will be an amazing body of work in comics.
