SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (Good Comic for Kids Blog) -- Lion Forge releases an adventure set in a new magical world. Milo, having never known his mother, and with his father working in the city, lives with his three elderly aunts near a lake. He soon discovers many strange things in this lake; a fish egg that hatches a magnificent golden fish, a toad man who is interested in the fish, and a fiery young girl who was being held prisoner by toad man, who he frees. Now on the run, Milo finds himself on "the other side" of the lake, a parallel world where an evil wizard rules over an elf-like population. He seeks to extend his rule to the other parallel worlds, and only Milo stands in his way. The first of a three part series, this volume also stands on its own, and will appeal to fans of titles like Amulet and the Wizard of Oz.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Ripping Middle-Grade Fantasy Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019
Milo finds a magical goldfish, is threatened by a Toad-like hoodlum, saves a mysterious girl, is threatened by a wizard, and then gets dragged to an alternate world on the other side of the lake. And then things get really interesting. The plot gets twistier and thickens nicely, but you get the idea.

Here's the best part. None of this is twee or cutesy. This is a solid, compelling fantasy adventure, with action, clever angles, loads of surprises, novel creatures, suspense, betrayal, and great pacing. Milo and his mystery girl partner, Valia, have a love/hate relationship marked by clever and convincing banter and some deadpan funny throwaway lines. They pick up a chatterbox sidekick little girl along the way, and she gets some of the best lines. Other surprise characters, (won't give away more), offer wry commentary on the action. Heck, even the villain wizard occasionally exhibits a dry sense of humor. The tale is both gripping and amusing, with Milo serving as an authentic, youthful and engaging hero, and we never strike a false note.

Sometimes the feel is mythic, with a deeper backstory than expected. There is tenderness and honest feeling, which gives the story much more weight than just a larky or routine fantasy. And once we have a full blown fellowship/quest fantasy, (NO MORE SPOILERS), the tale really takes off.

All of this is enhanced by deceptively sophisticated artwork. At first it seems a bit cartoony, but then you begin to appreciate how expressive and distinct all of the characters are. Along the same lines, the backgrounds and set scenes are convincingly detailed, (the inking is very good), and this becomes especially noticeable, and appreciated, when the action moves to the fantasy side of the lake.

The book completes a full story arc, (so there's no cliffhanger or loose threads), but it leaves open the possibility of a sequel. It looks like this book was originally published in French, in 2013, in two volumes, and there are at least four more volumes, (two more books worth), out there as yet untranslated. So let's get cracking Lion Forge.

(Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Really nice art and story about a young boy who finds a strange goldfish
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019
'Milo's World Book One: The Land Under the Lake' written by Richard Marazano with art by Christophe Ferreira is a magical graphic novel about a young boy and a goldfish. And maybe a few things more.

Milo lives on his own. His mother is gone, and his dad works a lot away from home. Milo is looked after by his three eccentric aunts who bring him more food than he can possibly eat, but he is mostly left on his own. One day, in the local river, Milo finds a strange goldfish. He feeds it and it starts getting bigger. He also starts getting strange visitors asking about the weirdly large fish.

The art style looks just like the cover. It's kind of a painted animation style and I really liked it. I liked the story and the odd characters. This would be a fun read for younger readers.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Graphic Novel
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020
This lovely graphic novel was written and drawn by two artists who have deep roots in anime and manga, and it shines clearly through. Milo is more or less raising himself, with his mother dead, his father working most of the time out of town. But he has his three eccentric aunties checking in on him daily and stuffing him full of good cooking. One day, while fishing in the lake behind his house for supper, he finds a glowing golden egg which, by the next day, hatches into a rapidly growing (and glowing) goldfish. Then a strange cast of characters moves into his life in various ways, and soon Milo is off on the adventure of a lifetime, where some secrets of his past may be answered. Lovely art, lovely story!

This book is beautifully illustrated and nearly as easy to read as the Captain Underpants or Dog Man books. It is recommended for 4th grade.
