Wiz and Mug are back for another magical adventure as they continue their quests for the mighty Order of Mages! Wiz has always believed in the Order of Mages as a force for good; one that works to destroy tyrants and restore peace, but it seems that may not be the case at all. Prepare for revelations and mini golf in this latest addition to the wildly successful Fantasy Sports series! After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Sam Bosma taught in the Illustration department from 2011 to 2013 before moving to Brooklyn, NY. He won a Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators in the Institutional category, as well as a Gold Award from Spectrum in 2013. He currently does background drawings for Steven Universe on Cartoon Network when not making comics and graphic novels of his own. He lives in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
This slim, oversized volume is fast and furious fun, mixing fantasy and sports in a distinct and refreshing way. Showing a mix of influences from European comics and Japanese manga, Bosmas panels are bustling and lively with their propulsive use of sound effects and motion lines. Although its the third volume in the series, it is a great jumping-in point for new readers, although assume most will seek out the previous volumes for more adventures in this quirky and exciting world. A hole-in-one.
Kirkus Reviews
If youre looking for comics for a younger audience, or to read with a child, this series is a great pick; kids will love the bright colors and stunning graphics of this series. But personally, as an adult, I also found this comic adorable and entertaining.
Syfy
Fantasy Sports 3: The Green King is continuing the tale that has us wonder what sport will be next and how it will go from something mere-mortals play to those with magic will make more fun. Another adventure that makes me wish I had a dog that carried a knife in its mouth.
