It’s ✨cheesecake✨ and that’s fine. If you like cheesecake, then this is a comic for you! You can tell the creator had fun with it, and the story isn’t pretending to be anything but.
In terms of writing, ehhh. Very basic “don’t strike back or we will be like them!” type of plot. Characters are engaging enough. The coloring is the strongest part of the art for me.

I could claim it's my deep interest in Wicca that draws me to this fantastical world of witches, flying kittens, skeleton spirits, fairies and dragons. No, it is the super endowed, top heavy forms of Tarot (Rowan to her friends) and her evil-inclined sister Raven Hex that brought me into this modern day Salem coven. After working for the D.C. corporation on a super voluptuous Catwoman, artist and writer Jim Balent set off on his own to create this fantasy adventure which claims to be "a respectful incorporation of the wiccan tradition".
Obviously I have no idea if it is. (A good sign is that the individual issues of the comic have interviews and spells from real life wiccans, but aren't included in the bound collection. As well, wiccans are given cameos in many of the later issues.)
Nearly every page is pinup worthy. Balent has that naughty humour which I think comes out best when he slips into a more cartoony style -- the four page bonus story "Maidens and Monsters" is a good example of this.
So maaybee I'm learning something about Wicca when I'm looking at Raven Hex's spikes, but really wouldn't it weird you out if I came into your church with an erection? Don't be put off by all my drooling, Balent, in his own comic style, worships the female form. Blessed be!

Not bad. Writing was a bit repetitive. Art work was great. Story was interesting.
