Flannel Sorceress

STATUS QUO

Welcome to another necromantic review at Comic Unknown. We return to Rats and Crow Publishing to find ourselves in the Pond Scum Comics imprint. We enter the world of sorcery in The Charmer, an intriguing piece involving magic with an enigmatic character and her mysterious uncle. Starting off in a cabin in the woods, our hero Samantha Jean Wyrick is a sorceress that is seen chopping wood as she is ambushed by a pair of armed men in suits. Her retaliation involves great agility, magic, an ax, and a great swing. The action is quickly halted once Samantha is informed by the men in black that her uncle “Mike” is requesting her presence. After being taken to him, the two share some bitter banter and her uncle state that he needs her help finding the Calvarian Obol: an ancient coin of great luck only known to most believe as a myth. As a sorceress, Samantha's outfit differs from one's idea of what one may believe a sorceress wears. Her style is a nice change of pace by naturally wearing a red flannel shirt and jeans. One may say her outfit fits her character as she can be perceived as tough and rugged. 

While she wields some sort of mystic power, the reader still does not know too much about her background or history. The Charmer Issue one was written by Bill William and creates an adventure for the leading heroine as she begins to map out her journey. The traditional art style gives the readers simple details that can still catch the readers attention. The Charmer Issue One holds a promising narrative as the readers are charmed by the story. Ricardo Silva (pencils) and Natalie Marques (colors) blend their artistic work flawlessly as pages are easily turned until the end of the issue. The Charmer has a mysterious uncle, a secret cult, a lost mythical Obol, and a super powered, sorcery wielding, flannel wearing heroine all in one series. The story invites everyone with a fun story, great art and awesome lettering (thanks to Thom Zahler). The Charmer issue one was a Kickstarter success story on November 21, 2016. Check them out on Facebook and find the comic available at Rats and Crows Publishing.
