The Castoffs Vol. 1: Mage Against the Machine
by Brian Smith, MK Reed
This comic feels almost like a dramatization of a fun D&D campaign. Three young mages are assigned a mission: to travel to a remote village and discover the cause of a memory-sickness affecting its citizens. Charris is the group's fighter and Ursa is its healer, though she has other powers she's keeping secret. Trinh's powers are largely untested and she's very timid about using them, but she's able to shift into a spectral form and break/dismantle objects almost instantaneously. These three build a grudging alliance as they face a countryside scarred by the remains of the Mage/Machine war, which ranged across the world in decades past. When they discover a plot to rebuild dangerous technology, they must trust each other and work together or else risk restarting the old conflict.
