A review by misterjay
The Midas Flesh Vol. 1 by Ryan North

4.0

At first glance, The Midas Flesh looked to be another ably written, ably drawn and colored, fun, adventure comic for kids. And, if the gorgeous artwork were all there was to the story, it might be true. However, the addition of interesting characters who experience real and significant consequences to their actions elevate this book far beyond its cutesy art and bright colors.

Take the legend of King Midas, throw in a random act by a capricious god, an evil Federation, politically motivated astronaut terrorists, and a talking dinosaur, and you have a really good comic for fans of all ages. Highly recommended.
