Mirakul

Writer
and Artist: Davor Raddja
Curse
you, Internet! High on the heady nectar of Magic Wind, I
looked into Epicenter Comics' other offerings and stumbled upon this
late one night. Sleep deprived and too lazy to do research, I ordered
it because it was cheap via Amazon. I should have known that if
InStockTrades didn't bother carrying it that it must not have been
worthwhile. A word to the wise, folks: always always always
Google the name of artists on unknown quantities like this. Save
yourself some money and some regrets, folks.
This
book was originally published in Croatia after starting out as a
webcomic. It was redrawn from that, and supposedly the artist had
improved, according to the introduction. This is comic book amateur
hour, boys and girls. The artwork is laughably bad, and while the
story is mediocre, the ending really sucks balls. This was a complete
waste of time and money. Avoid this book at all costs unless you hate
your money...and if you do, I will be selling this on eBay at some
point, so please buy mine.
