"THEM BLUE WIZARD BLUES," Conclusion The fourth arc of the acclaimed series comes to a close, with the game-changing revelations you've come to expect from CURSE WORDS. IN THIS ISSUE: a talking koala makes a proposition, a bunch of bad guys get drunk and make a fateful decision, and Wizord loses a fight. Like, badly. Offered with our final "magical" variant by RYAN BROWNE: a fun reference to a classic stage magic trick of old. Get it!

If an evil wizard kills other evil wizards who are after him, does that make him good, less evil than the other wizards, or just as evil? 
This comic seems to keep pushing the idea that Wizord is evil but I just can't see it at the moment. He definitely does things that are morally questionable, like shrinking millions of people and putting them in a plastic bag, but I don't see him as evil.

He's trying to do the right thing, and his entire deal is 'the end justifies the means' but I like that he's like that.
In this issue he builds a paradise for the little people in the plastic bag (such a strange thing to type) and ends up losing his magic. Again, this issue was short on plot, but I still enjoyed it.

When they were speaking in bird language I was reminded just a little bit of Rick & Morty, which is probably not what Charles Soule was going for but it's what I got.

Sizzajee is also gorgeously coloured as always, but really isn't a big part of this at the moment. I can imagine his role will increase as the issues go on, but right now, this is pretty slow paced.

A wizard has appeared in present-day New York! His name is Wizord, and he's here to save us all from dark magical forces bent on our destruction. He's the best wizard of all time! Or... he's not, and he's lying to everyone, and secretly is the dark magical force, but wants to hang out in our world for a while because it's so much nicer than the hellhole he comes from. Secrets, and spells, and talking koalas - CURSE WORDS is a gonzo dark fantasy from CHARLES SOULE (Daredevil, Letter 44, Star Wars) and RYAN BROWNE (God Hates Astronauts). Collects Issues 1-5.
