The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WITCH DOCTOR: MAL PRACTICE #1 from Image Comics. Brandon Seifert writes, and Lukas
Ketner draws.
Vincent Morrow is a magical physician. If you’ve got a
magical ailment, he’s the guy to go to. He’s very smart and not all that
socially smooth, and he seems to have something of a past, as his assistants Eric
and Penny are quickly learning. But now something wants his attention, and is
going to dramatic lengths to get it.
There’s a really cool “House meets Frankenstein” vibe going
on here. An odd combination, I grant you, but I really like the science-y
fantasy blend. This appears to be a world jam packed with potential creepy
villains and darkly cool storylines. There’s something going on with Penny,
too. And the art is fabulous; it goes from grotesque to mundane and back in a
seamless flow.
This is a great first issue, also. Just enough info about
main characters to get us interested and make us want more. Well, it worked
again; curse you, Image! J
WITCH DOCTOR: MAL PRACTICE #1 is available now at your FLCS or
by order from imagecomics.com.
