Because 1300 comic book pages!!!!) With the exception of Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood which I read for a college class back in 2004, this is my first foray into the land of comic books.

And wouldn't you know, the damn thing is relentlessly entertaining from beginning to end. Stephen King and George Romero teamed up and made a film in our lifetime-this is something that still makes me happy to say aloud. ![]() ![]() ![]() The children’s unchecked magic has become impossible to contain, and Ian recruits Mika to become the trio’s live-in magic tutor.
