What Else Happens in this Comic?
The witches of the Triple Moon ask Morgan to investigate a murder. Although it looks like a straight forward killing, things quickly escalate as Morgan uncovers who committed the murder. She doesn’t know why yet and figuring it out may kill her for good this time.
How is the Writing in ??
The Dialogue
Marcel Dupree and Joshua Metzger write the story from Morgan’s perspective. She has a chip on her shoulder but a keen eye for details. Her internal monologues keep the story moving and give us insight into Morgan’s current frame of mind.
Showing Versus Telling

The Vibe
The Kickstarter is pulling a lot on the Jessica Jones vibe of this comic, and I think it’s a fair pull. Although we the reader know more than Morgan, it’s a solid murder mystery with plenty of supernatural elements mixed in.
Comic Art Review
Miguel Angel Ruiz has a cartoon style that borders on realistic. The first thing I noticed were the character designs. They are absolutely top notch. The second thing I noticed was we have realistic proportioned heroes and villains. Everyone isn’t working out at the gym five days a week, but they are beautiful all the same. Billy would give Magnum a run for best shirt on a private investigator.

On the Cover
The covers are both by Miguel Angel Ruiz. Cover A tells us all we need to know about Morgan Le Fay. She’s down on her luck, enjoys a good drink, and is more than she appears to be. The alternative cover is from a 50 print limited edition of Le Fay #1. Morgan is cosplaying as Princess Leia surrounded by her favorite Star Wars toys.

Locations
We start in Camelot. Move on to The Triple Moon’s lair. Investigate the scene of a murder in rural England before coming back to a nondescript warehouse where Jack makes a mess.

I used to be somebody. Hard to believe now, but I really was.

Who Will Like
Fans of the Dresden Files or Jessica Jones will immediately find themselves on familiar and enjoyable territory with Le Fay #1. The investigator in a fairy world works as a story telling device.

Should You Buy This Comic Book?
I'm a huge fan of the Dresden Files and Le Fay was cut from the same mold. Evoluzione Publishing has a Kickstarter to collect the four issues of Le Fay into a trade. If the rest of the issues are this good, it will be worth your money. Try issues 1 and 2 of Le Fay for free from Gumroad. There's nothing better than free, downloadable pdf files with no DRM.
