This comic book series is about a Las Vegas magician who doesn’t
fully realize he actually has magical powers. He knows he can vanish and
appear somewhere not far away, but discovers he can do a bit more than
that, with a little coaching. His pet cat, also unknown to him turns out
to be a magical, talking cat. All this come to light when everyone in
Las Vegas disappears and he and his cat decide to get out of town and
meet a magical druid who was looking for him. The trio travel to an
ancient great wizard for help in getting everyone back and stopping evil
creatures from attacking the world. I quite enjoyed this graphic novel
as well as it’s prequel, which explains the back story to the antagonist
and the ancient great wizard, back when he wasn’t ancient. That novel
is called
Charismagic: The Death Princess and I found it really valuable to have read that first, but it’s not available in Hoopla. If you enjoyed the
Fables
series by Bill Willingham I think you’d enjoy this as well, or if you
are looking for a comic series about magic beings living undercover in a
modern world setting, then this is for you.
[If you enjoy this, there are many other Aspen Comics series available on Hoopla you might like. I’ve only read the
Fathom series and think that one is really good, but others include
Jirni,
BubbleGun,
Soulfire and
Executive Assistant.]
