geekwayne's review against another edition
4.0
In 'Magic: The Gathering Volume 4: Theros,' Dack Fayden is a thief with some unusual abilities, the chief one being the ability to find trouble. This series is based on the popular collectible card game, but no familiarity is needed to enjoy the story. That knowledge will bring greater enjoyment, though.
When Dack, finds himself in the middle of a botched robbery in Ravnica, he moves to a another plane and finds himself in Theros. He soon finds himself on a ship and learns that he and ships don't get along. When another theft goes badly, he unleashes something that no one was prepared for.
It's the 4th in a series, but the character of Dack is extremely likeable and I found myself jumping right in and following fine. The story is action packed. The art is really quite good, and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series, especially with this character.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

As a long-time player of Magic, with a husband who's semi-pro, I couldn't pass this up when I saw it available on NetGalley. I was a little concerned because it's volume 4 and I haven't read the first three, but it didn't matter. The story was immediately interesting and pulled me right in. I loved reading a story set in a universe I'm familiar with from the card game, and seeing creatures and spells in a different -- more "real" -- setting. The story was quick-paced and adventurous, the characters were rich and entertaining, and the lore was just as I'd hoped it would be. The artwork? Freaking gorgeous, and I wouldn't have expected any less. I don't read a lot of comics, but this volume has made me want to read everything else in the series that I can find. Definitely recommended!
