Review to come on Thursday.

An annoying warrior princess and a wizerd and oh yes an archer are on a quest (or to a town) to find ingredients for a potion.

This sounded really great, I like that Wizard was misspelled to Wizerd, the art looked great. But sadly this was a disappointment.

The warrior princess was just so annoying and aggravating. I was not a fan of her at all. I get that she wants to be big and strong... but attacking someone in their home is just not the way to go. Then breaking into their home, eating all their food. Just a no. But later on it just gets worse with this character and at times I just wished a dragon would eat her.

The wizerd was a fun and interesting person, but I was disappointed that they barely did any magic (if they did at all, I kind of lost focus at points). Later on we do find out they quit wizerding... so does that still make him a wizerd then? Or just a person who loves magic and making potions?

Before we can even get into getting to know the Wizerd there is the warrior before we even get to know the warrior (not that I wanted to) there is the archer (who btw forgot all her stuff).

The story itself felt chaotic and at times I just had to scroll back to make sure I read things right.

Plus, you know I came here for a quest. A journey! Not pages of prison and jails and easily gotten ingredients. Plus, I found it quite strange that no one (not Wallace nor the archer) helped out their Wizerd friend, at least immediately. I mean the wizerd has been sent to an out of town prison... yet no one cared to help him? Wth?

I did like the art. It was fun, fluid, and creative with tons of little details to find.

The next volume seems to promise a quest.. But frankly I am just not going to read that. Wallace is annoying (has been throughout the book), the story is chaotic.

My son (age 8) enjoyed this colorful and exciting graphic novel! The illustrations are enchanting and the story is entertaining, what more could you ask for in a book. Would be interested to see more from this author! Two thumbs up!

So a wizerd, a warrior and an archer walk into a bar... Wait that's not it.

If you're looking for adventure, you're about a hundred years late. That's what a former wizerd told a warrior who assaulted them demanding to make a wish-granting potion for her so she could be "the strongest warrior in the north". Both will embark on a quest to gather the ingredients, with lots of adventure, odd characters and humouristic situations.

The drawing style is peculiar, with lots of smoke and cloudy elements as the author's signature and overall it reminds of Adventure Time. This classic RPG adventure also reminds of Terry Pratchett's The colour of magic for its peculiar sense of humor and chaotic disputes.
The comic is so easy to read and funny to go through its six chapters (plus an epilogue) and leaves wanting for more of this absurbdly entertaining quest starring a bunch of underdogs.

This is a really cute graphic novel about an unlikely trio on their way to gather ingredients for a Wish Potion! Great representation with an n0n-binary protagonist, a little princess that just wants to fight people and become hella buff and a cool archer! Its fun, the art is colorful and I love the small details in the larger panels! There is so much to look at when they are in the shop for example! Really excited to see how this story progresses!
