On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast: Mage: The Hero Discovered

This week, on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the crew takes a look at Matt Wagner’s Mage: The Hero Discovered.

 


March 21
Mage: The Hero Discovered
Writer: Matt Wagner
Artist: Matt Wagner
The Hero Discovered follows Kevin Matchstick, an alienated young man who meets a wizard called Mirth and discovers that he, among other things, possesses both a magic baseball bat and superhuman abilities. In the course of the comic, he defeats the nefarious plans of a being called the Umbra Sprite. He ultimately discovers that Mirth is Merlin, the baseball bat is Excalibur, and he is, in some ambiguous way, King Arthur. All the chapter titles are lines from Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Review: Zorro #19

The legend of Zorro continues to grow up and down the coast of California as story after story builds the vigilante up to that of legend.  If readers didn’t know the true story, we’d think Zorro was some kind of supernatural being of the night.  In truth, he’s just a guy out to bring the man down.
