I always like messy artwork than clean ones. It is actually difficult to do -at least in my opinion.
I would want to read the next one but could not find it anywhere yet.

I received this book as an Advanced Reading Copy from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
The Wizerd! And The Potion of Dreams by Michael Sweater and Rachel Dukes is about The Wizerd who's a recluse and is very happy to stay at home not going on adventures. One day the brash and foolhardy Princess Wallace attacks the Wizeard out of nowhere and tries to convince them to help them make a wishing potion. The Wizeard agrees and the two start an adventure. Along the way they meet an archer who they help get out of a sticky situation and together the group goes on their quest.
This is at least a YA graphic novel if not even a middle grade.. I think it's very important to keep that in mind. when you read because it's not a very challenging story. What it is, is cute. It's perfect if you just want a fun and enjoyable story or you want something to read along with your kids.
This is a very positive, very innocent, and very pure story. There may be swords, explosions, and fighting, but never once did I think anyone was actually going to get hurt. So if you're reading this to a very young child, maybe just do the good parent thing of reminding them that hitting their friends with swords is a no no. But other than that, there's no reason that even very young kids could enjoy this.
If you have read any other reviews for this graphic novel, you have have seen others compare the art style to Adventure Time. I too will add that comparison but also add in some inspiration from Dr. Seuss. The art isn't bad or lazy. It's very purposeful in it's whimsical cartoon style.
If you're looking for a quick and fun read. This is your book. If you're looking for something to read with your children or as a gift for a young relative, this is your book. If you're looking for something that's boundary pushing and progressive, then look elsewhere. But for just plain enjoyability, this is for you.

The dialogue is fun and quirky and pokes fun at RPG/fantasy tropes. The Wizerd character is my favorite. They’re cool, calm, collected, and unbothered. Overall, the art style is an acquired taste, but I think the characters and the story are charming though erratic.
