The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CURSE WORDS #1 from Image Comics. Charles Soule writes, Ryan Browne draws, Jordan
Boyd colors, and Chris Crank letters.
Wizord came out of nowhere, appearing in Central Park one
day. His orders were clear – prepare the way for his master to conquer this
world. But the spell took several days to cast, and in the meantime Wizord grew
to like it here. So he decided to help people, quickly gaining popularity as
people began to accept that magic was real. Eventually his master sent a
messenger to learn the cause of the delay, and a message was definitely sent in
return.
To be fair, it’s not entirely clear what Wizord’s plan is in
our world. He only has one friend, the koala Margaret, and he doesn’t really
confide in her. And of course, this leaves the story wide open for the
foreseeable future. The story also gives us little hints of what Wizord left
behind, who he’s betraying, and the kinds of silliness people ask for when they
can have anything. The art supports that beautifully and also adds its own
little hints here and there to help out.
Wizards are real, we’ve only got one, and no one knows
anything about him. But trust is only the beginning in this modern fantasy
story.
