1761 – MAESTROS comics by Steve Skroce and Dave Stewart (Image comics 2018)

timespace coordinates: Now

Probably one of my favorite comics series of lately. With infinite irony and infinite jest, yet still with so much confounding, relentless and pitiless magic.

“The Maestro and his entire royal family have been murdered. Now, his banished son from Earth will inherit the Wizard King’s throne along with a spell that turns its user into GOD. With enemies everywhere, will this Orlando-born millennial be able to keep his new magic kingdom? From STEVE SKROCE, the storyboard artist of The Matrix trilogy, the artist and co-creator of WE STAND ON GUARD and Doc Frankenstein, the writer / artist of Wolverine, and the artist of Amazing Spider-Man and ALAN MOORE’s YOUNGBLOOD.” (Image)
