review:
'The Castoffs, Volume 1' by MK Reed and Brian Smith with art by Molly Ostertag was a bit confusing to me, but since my review copy had 25 missing pages, I'll assume maybe that's where some of the missing narrative went.
25 years have passed since the mages fought the giant robots and the mages have won. Now the remains of the giant hulking machines can still be found lying around. Into this world, we are introduced to a trio of young mages who are sent on a mission to a town named Clifton where people are forgetting things. The three are very different and they need to learn to get along.
It's a good enough young reader story. There is a cover blurb comparing it to Lumberjanes, and I guess I can see that comparison as far as audience goes. The art is good and the coloring works very well. It's a big world that seems barely tapped even though this is a complete story.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge/Roar, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
