I confess after reading Magic Powder I did not actually see any of the stuff between the pages. What I did see was very strong writing and clear-cut characters acting out their agendas with force and focus. This is a comic where I definitely will be wanting to read more chapters to get filled in. As it is, there's a lot of stuff going on here, but the central core, what the characters know, is deliberately kept hidden from the reader's view. You have an elf delivering a stolen red sword to a fence, a dwarven boss meeting an underwater mermaid-elf clan conducting his nefarious business. Finally there's an intellectual looking elf (the Librarian Zjah) who is making moves to start a war.
