As with any new comic book series, even a limited series, the story has to reach a place that is so engrossing that it seems effortless in its execution, propels the narrative and has the reader yearning for more. Such is the case with Archaia’s new all-ages series Feathers written and illustrated by Jorge Corona. Issue three not only meets these goals but exceeds them in bringing a complex but exciting adventure alive with twists and turns that will satisfy not only kids but adults as well.
As usual Corona’s cartoonish style makes the book incredibly appealing and his characters are enlivened with colorful expressions and actions. Corona’s attention to detail from rooftops, to brickwork, to the multiple costume designs fleshes out the Maze with amazing intricate line work. He’s world building in every sense of the word. Paired with Jen Hickman’s subdued earth tones, Corona’s art shines in a uniquely satisfying way.
Feathers is just getting better and better. It is hitting its stride and moving the plot along wonderfully. The new characters and conflicts are building upon themselves resulting into an anxiety-filled cliffhanger. You can’t help but root for Poe and Bianca on as their journey continues.
