Arcana: The Lost Heirs is a solid opening chapter and leaves us wanting more

Posted on by

James, Daphne, Koko, and Sonny have all grown up surrounded by magic in the Arcana, an organization of witches that protects the magical world, run by the mysterious and secretive Majors. Eli Jones, however, hadn’t even known other witches existed . . . until he stumbled into James. As James introduces him to the world of the Arcana, Eli finds the family he never had and a blossoming romance with James.

The five new friends soon realize that sinister things are afoot, and everything may not be what it seems at the Arcana. When the group delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the deaths of their parents and the Majors’ rise to power, they discover that they’re at the center of a curse―one they’ve just unwittingly set into motion. As the friends search for answers, they’ll have to confront the cursed legacy that links them in hopes of freeing their futures.

Swing is an interesting graphic novel about standing up for oneself

Posted on by

When Izzy and Marcus are paired together to perform a swing dance routine for a gym project, it’s no surprise that everything goes up in flames, including their grade in the class. Until their gym teacher proposes a deal: if the pair performs the swing routine in the upcoming talent show, they’ll receive extra credit and a passing grade. They accept. . . but Izzy has her own proposal for Marcus: this time, she gets to be the lead.

The Baker and the Bard: A Cozy Fantasy Adventures has some good moments but also some headscratchers

Posted on by

Juniper and Hadley have a good thing going in Larkspur, spending their respective days apprenticing at a little bakery and performing at the local inn. But when a stranger makes an unusual order at the bakery, the two friends (and Hadley’s pet snake, Fern) set out on a journey to forage the magical mushrooms needed to make the requested galette pastries.

Along the way, Juniper and Hadley stumble across a mystery too compelling to ignore: Something has been coming out of the woods at night and eating the local farmers’ crops, leaving only a trail of glowy goo behind. Intent on finally going on an adventure that could fuel their bardic craft, Hadley tows Juniper into the woods to investigate.

What started as a simple errand to pick mushrooms soon turns into a thrilling quest to save some furry new friends–and their caretaker, a softspoken little fey named Thistle–who are in danger of losing their home.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Gatsby

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Amazing Spider-Man #25 (Marvel) – Marvel’s teasing some big stuff in this one, so don’t miss out Spidey fans!

Daughters of Snow and Cinders (Fantagraphics) – Fleeing the fires of her war-torn homeland, a young woman travels to the New World in search of gold to rebuild her life.

Disney Villains: Scar #2 (Dynamite) – The first issue was fantastic filling in some of Scar’s unknown story from The Lion King.

Dog Knight Vol. 1 (Feiwel & Friends) – Frankie is saved from a friendly golden retriever from bullies and wakes up in a giant doghouse and tasked to prove they posses the six dog virtues of loyalty, kindness, honesty, justice, stubbornness, and smell.

Extreme Venomverse #1 (Marvel) – It’s the Summer of Symbiotes and this is a small piece of that big puzzle that’s going on.

Gatsby (AWA Studios) – A new take on the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.

Ghostlore #1 (BOOM! Studios) – We’ve all heard of ghost stories… but what stories do the ghosts themselves tell us? Ghosts telling ghost stories? Written by Cullen Bunn with art by Leomacs? Yeah, we’re in.

Green Lantern #1 (DC Comics) – It’s a new status-quo for the Lanterns, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart and it’s a fantastic start.

The Nasty #2 (Vault Comics) – The first issue was an interesting spin on the horror genre about a group of kids wanting to save their video store and going to make their own scary movie.

Samurai Doggy #6 (AfterShock) – The series has been an entertaining story but it’s the visuals that have us really excited to check out each issue.

Something Epic #1 (Image Comics) – Outside our perception, creative thought takes physical form, with only a handful of individuals known as Epics able to interact with this wondrous hidden world. It sounds like an intriguing idea and we’re excited to see how this one plays out.

Spirit World #1 (DC Comics) – From the pages of Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate, a new Chinese hero emerges who’s able to travel to and from the Spirit World, the realm of the dead, and that of the living. We’re always excited to check out new heroes and ideas.

WildC.A.T.s #7 (DC Comics) – The series has been a wild ride that fans of the characters should enjoy and this latest issue begins to lay out the conspiracy as we’re not sure who we can trust.
