REVIEW: Magpie #1

G’Day Crusaders,

This is Dodgy86 in the mix bringing you Magpie # 1 by Andrez Bergen with art by Frantz Kantor. Part of a series of short stories in the magazine Oi Oi Oi. Published byÂ Comicoz.

3D man is man of mystery, or a man of misery since he is colorblind! The poor man cannot get a break he gets beat up by his environment more so than his enemies. After an interview with Wana Jendt (Jana Wendt, ead) on A Current Affair 3D Man is humiliated publicly and is the laughing stock of the general public. With frustration he changes his way, becoming bitter with the outside world and becomes a villain!

Who is Magpie? From the opening pages you’d think that 3D Man is Magpie which is a shock that he’s not which is genious story telling on Bergen’s part. Although this short story is only 8 pages long it’s heavily detailed, yet not crammy. The art is like watching a pixar film and I’m sorry to say 3D Man looks a lot like Mr Incredible! Although its not a bad thing.

This story is part of Oi Oi Oi # 7, this collaboration will be up for aÂ 2016 Ledger awards (the Eisner Award for Australian talent).

This is crazy a for Oi Oi Oi # 7, this is the opening tale and is truly worth a look. Do ya’self a favor and check it out!
