I’m really happy that I picked up this mini- series. I was on the fence when it was announced, especially conserving how bad many of the minis have been lately. This series has been a perfect forum for the former Sorcerer Supreme, mixing demonic fun with Stephen’s personal guilt.
The journey continues for Stephen and his new young apprentice, Casey. This issue focuses on a child beauty pageant. The connections to real life pageants and the demon world are hilarious, and probably not far off. Mark Waid does a great job with the script and Emma Rios’ art is a perfect fit for the tone of this book.
It will be sad to see the mini end next issue. Maybe readership will be high enough on this series that Marvel will start up Stephen in his own series.....I won’t hold my breath.
