But Why Tho? - Max Funkey
Feb 05, 2020The After Realm Quarterly Issue #1 is an odd but endearing start to a series. There are a few hiccups that keep it from being perfect, but I found it thoroughly enjoyable. This is compounded with the interesting direction that the story takes as it goes on. If you're a fan of Norse mythology, fantasy, or coming of age stories then this one could be a very good fit for you. Read Full Review

I often say that I'm not the biggest fan of Fantasy. It's not that I dislike the genre It's just that most of the material is so front-loaded with lore that it becomes a barrier. There are exceptions. I love Dragon Age, Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite books and films. I've also enjoyed Robert Geronimo's Blood Realm series from Alterna Comics. I feel I can add The After Realm Quarterly to that list. The story of The After Realm isn't lore heavy and I never felt overwhelmed by the setting. What Michael and Taki have done is taken the Norse Myth of Ragnorox and used it as a springboard into something really cool and unique within the Fantasy genre. The comic opens with our heroine Oona and her best friend Pikki at the outset more
