Reviews / Votes
NPR -- A wizard named - for no particular reason -Wizord and his sidekick Margaret (a talking koala, again for no particular
reason) star in Charles Soule and Ryan Browne's giddily indulgent, neon-drenched
Curse Words. There's actually no particular reason for a lot of what's
packed into this comic, unless you consider a robust sense of fannish fun to be
a life priority - which, come to think of it, you probably should. If, faced
with a tale about a jacked-up wizard from another dimension and his koala pal,
you find yourself asking, "What's the point?" then Curse Words simply
isn't for you. Also, you're missing out.
