Magic is green: Matt Wagner's Mage

As we delve into some of our favorite non-mainstream comic titles, Matt Wagner's Mage is one that we can't help but touch on.

Mage features the relatable hero of Kevin Matchstick in a King Arthur update where a world of magic and creatures inhabits our own. The creative writing and brilliant artwork of Matt Wagner makes Mage one of our favorite titles off the beaten path.
