Cool character designs but no character introductions. Story and characters feel flat.

Gosh I wish something like this existed when I was wonderful! It is just a wonderful found family cast of 4 magical girls that are protecting the world. Some of the lore was iffy since I didn't watch the show but the illustrations helped to really put me in the mindset of the story! The characters were witty and I liked each Mysticons for different reasons.
I will deffs be recommending these to middle grade girls because it is a delightful read for them

Not brilliant but not bad either. Kate Leth's writing elevates a plodding but entertaining magical girl comic.

Fast read. The cover art is beautiful but the rest of it left me dissatisfied. Story line is stunted and while they tried to make jokes they failed. It's not bad but it's certainly not good.

Mysticons comic book, 1st volume.
If anything is good about Black Friday sales in a country that doesn’t have Thanksgiving tradition, it’s cheaper books. The Mysticon comics sunk 50% of its former price so I bought it.
Nice plot, the writing really captured the characters and the art style is different yet recognizable and looks good, too. All in all, yes this is really a story that features the world and characters I like. I’m glad it was a concise story so it’s technically a stand-alone, though there is going to be another comics volume published in march.
Is it just me or does Em come of as smidge more assertive (and goofy)? (Not that she’s really shy or timid in the cartoon) I like it though. I like it very much.
I also happen to like the character of Kymraw as a concept. She’s the school bully, who never reflected on actions and keeps her bad ways. Unredeemable and mean through and through. She’s a troll but she’s not an idiotic troll. However brutish she is she is street smart not stupid. Make no mistake she’s not a refined, academically inteligent villain but her streetsmarts make her a surprisingly clever troll. So as a type of female villain, she’s interesting if not very likeable.
I’m glad the canon makes it obvious that Griffins are the best. Strong, fast, badass and cute.
