This comic book aims to introduces people like me who hasn’t read this series before, to this comic book series. I gotta admit that this comic book has a very unique blend of magic and charisma which really gave a lot of expectations for this comic book. 

In reality this comic book struggles a lot to deliver a compelling experience and a good story which would get people like me hocked into this comic book series which I never read before.

This comic book gives us a concept for this comic book which had a lot of potential to be very good and to get me very interested in this series. But the way this concept was presented to us, really falls flat due to uneven pacing and a lack of clear direction in the storytelling. 

At the same time the narrative which this comic book has feels very scattered and it makes it really for me difficult to fully engage with the characters in this comic book or story this comic book tries to give us.

The artwork in this comic book has some very good moments and has good visuals. But at the same time the artwork in this comic book lacks the polish and details which would have elevated the overall presentation if the details and the feeling of being polished was present in the artwork in this comic book.

Some panels in the artwork in this comic book feel very rushed and underdeveloped, which had pretty much distracted me from the immersion which the artwork tries to give us.

The dialogues in this comic book occasionally comes across as awkward or forced, which made the emotional part of this comic book diminishing in a way.

At the same time this comic book gives us glimpses of interesting ideas which the creators maybe had which could have been used to make this comic book better. But in reality this comic book doesn’t use does glimpses of interesting ideas it has, which really makes this comic book lose its potential that it had.
