Comics at the time of Mage's release was definitely changing for the better. Especially in independent comics.This is the one to make take notice of the independents.This is Matt Wagner's time as writer slash artist as he honed his creative talent on possibly his best work ever. His art has always been simple and it remains that way today. He can really tell a story and bring you back every month anticipating more and never let you down . I remember buying this 1st issue of Matt Wagner's Mage and immediately identified with the main character (being a teenager at the time).It takes place in the inner city but It was like discovering a new world and its new dangers lurking in very normal places. Even my friends who were not into comics got into Mage.The only disappointment was that the series was only 15 issues long. As this issue of Mage saw release so did Grendel # 2. Matt was working hard on his 2 creator owned projects.His work showed intelligence and heart as his talent grew with each issue. He puts us through the paces. We identify immediately with the character.The dialogue is not wordy as he gets to the heart of the story and brings on the action and impending cliffhanger.You cannot help but be drawn in . Mage remains my favorite of all independent comics.
