review:
'The Black Mage' by Daniel Barnes with art by DJ Kirkland is a familiar story told with race in mind.

When Tom Token is accepted into the prestigious St. Ivory Academy for wizards, he thinks he is the first black student. As such, things don't go well for him, as he is discriminated against, and even uncovers a plot that may end his life. Fortunately, he is helped by the ghost of past fighters Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and John Henry.

I liked this parody of another famous wizard school. I liked the anime style art. Tom is a pretty cool character, and it would be interesting to see what he gets up to next.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
