It Takes a Wizard
by Sean Lam, Thomas R. Hart
This is my first taste of Manga. I am a very versatile reader and I like to try different genres once in a while. The fact that one must read from right to left in these Japanese comics was not too difficult to master. The thing that got me was the overload of illustrations. I know that comics are essentially pictures, but after having read pictureless books for years, the adjustment was difficult. I can only read these in short bursts.
As for this piece itself, I found the story to be average, but a little cheesy. It was strangely religious in nature and the idea behind it all was odd. Mythical creatures coming to life and putting Manhattan under siege was not a very enticing storyline for me. While not the best representation from the world of manga, this rather large novel was readable.
