SUMMARY:
Published by IDW Publishing for May 2012, this series opener is otherwise untitled. The roguish Planeswalker thief, Dack Fayden, has now traced his elusive quarry, Sifa Grent, to an enormous castle in Echoir. Inside the castle, Fayden must fend off dark forces … if there is has any hope of escape.
Note: There’s a thumbnail reveal of artist Martin Cóccolo’s alternate ‘Cover RI’ on the inside front cover.
REVIEW:
Even for those unfamiliar with the Magic game, this swords-and-sorcery tale is a decent read. More impressively, IDW’s production values offer a solid alternative to Marvel and DC.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
The inside cover helpfully summarizes the series premise. The ‘IDWords’ news-and-notes column presents a Fred Hembeck comic strip. A Magic – The Gathering ‘Deckmaster’ playing card is also included
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
