You see, a young girl known as Wiz-Kid-who also happens to be a wizard-is forced to work with a well-meaning but rageaholic dullard named Mug for a Mages Guild to acquire ancient magical artifacts. This is a strange tome that takes a magical fantasy world and then throws sports into the mix. The title of the book actually describes things very well. So, I'll just admit Tucker Stone knows me pretty well because I absolutely loved this book thanks to its gorgeous art and being really weird-but my kind of weird! Plus, it's mostly kid-friendly but appeals to a grown-up like me, that's another great aspect of this book! Still, you may be asking just what the book is actually about. That is why despite having a stack of books, comics, and magazines I need to read that is literally as high as my waist, I put all those aside and delved into this book written and illustrated by Sam Bosma the same day it arrived at my doorstep. Therefore, when I got a copy of "Fantasy Sports Number 1" from him at the start of this week in the mail and it included a note where he said how he thought I would like the comic, I knew I needed to read it right away. Having spoken with him before and knowing he reads the blog now and then he has a pretty good idea what kind of comics I like. He of course got a job with Nobrow and now chats with press folk like me as part of that job. As readers of the blog are aware, I've been a big fan of Tucker Stone and his writings/podcastings/etc.
