A fantasy world where everyone speaks with modern sarcasm/humor, and the prince has both a smartphone and slip-on Vans sneakers. I actually enjoyed this story, but the artwork is the real star here. Like, blow your socks off incredible, some of the best illustration I’ve seen all year good. Brightly colored and incredibly detailed, it is sometimes grotesque or vulgar (ala Crossed), but consistent and enjoyable to look at, nonetheless. The story did feel a little rushed at times, but not enough f...
I enjoyed this more than I expected. Funny, interesting, great narration, beautiful gore.
Featuring brilliant artwork and an engaging narrative, Maestros is the rare graphic novel that rewards a slow reader. Each page of Steve Skroce's art deserves a second or third look to find the clever details that make this book an adult Where's Waldo. Skroce's writing is similarly excellent, quickly drawing the reader into an amusing fantasy world populated with articulate wizards.Maestros stars Will, the banished son of an all-powerful wizard, who gets to claim his father's throne after an unl...
Read this because: everything about it is so good???? And Image Comics hasn't let me down...YET. (*thinks of the next installment to Saga, Vol. 9*)
5 stars for artwork and 3 stars for storyline. Pros: AMAZING and imaginative artwork. Incredible. I did have some problems with the storyline (see cons) but overall the characters were entertaining and the dialog made me laugh. Cons: WHYYYYY where all the female characters SO powerful if they needed to be saved by this mediocre dude character so many times? UGH, they were all so hypersexualized. I'm over it. Also, why so many penises everywhere? Skroce crafted a story spanning an infinite amount...
The product itself is pretty great, with gorgeous art and a very solid plot. I took off one star because it's 2019 and I'm beyond over comics in which every single female character is hypersexualized. It's especially annoying here because the tone of the story and the value system of the protagonist are actually really progressive and inclusive, so how about we just stop doing that.
The Maestro and the entire royal family have been murdered. Now, the only hope for all of creation rests on the shoulders of an estranged son who was banished to the mundane dimension of Earth. No pressure.This is tongue in cheek dark fantasy that works surprisingly well. Fortunately, Skroce has a finely tuned sense of just how far to push everything. Too much darkness, and it all becomes a tiresome exercise in grand guignol. Too much ha ha, and it becomes potty-mouthed fluff. It helps that the
WOW MAESTROS is psychotic - its mad. It is one of the most beautifulest graphic novel art I've seen and its real gorgeous every page and frame looks like a masterpiece its self. All the scenes are intense and filled to the edged with colour and the beauty and gore of the creatures are drawn incredibly -if you're looking for some breath taking works. Also if you're looking for some creative and wacky stuff look no further than this book, it's sort of a mixture of Hellboy, Saga, Guardians of the G...
I received an ARC copy of this book from EdelweissI really liked this! I think it's easy when you are trying to do a story that pokes fun of a lot of common fantasy tropes to actually fall into those tropes instead of inverting them, but this title was actually really funny and did a really great job of bringing something new to the genre [especially for a book where the main characters are All-Powerful-White-Dude and his mom and girlfriend, seriously that could have gone SO wrong]. A fun, quick...
I really enjoyed these fantasy illustrations and ideas, That being said I wished for a little more to do storywise with our main character. What it was like to have magic in a non-human world, college time, being without his mother. That was the shock of him having to re-adjust to human world only be thrown back into a fantastical one would impact me more. I'm snorting with laughter that he ripped of the constitution to make it reflect this fantasy setting, being educated and changing the entire...
Uhh it was descent. 3 Star story but 4 stars overall cause the art was outstanding! 4 stars.
I have no idea what I just read, but I enjoyed it!
Solid story. Weird but not outlandish. Awesome art. Feed me more.
