Curse Words | Charles Soule
post image

On Sat. I finished Soule's colorful, absurd, fun graphic novel series about Wizord who is sent to earth from an alternate universe by a #merciless being to gather intelligence & eventually destroy it. Accompanied by his faithful koala sidekick, Margaret, Wizord soon meets a wide cast of interesting characters. Best way to describe Curse Words is to imagine Taika Waititi writing a fantasy series for adults. The final issue def sticks the landing.

Eggs Inspired choice!! 3y
LazyOwl I love this series. I've only read the first 2 volumes though. I need to catch up. 3y

Unique, entertaining, and such a wild ride! I can't believe I haven't heard of this before because a wizard with a koala 🐨 is something I needed in my life. 😁 I'll definitely read more of this series.

I've been waiting months for this to come in at my library. It came in at the perfect time too. Husband is away, just got a feverish baby to bed. I'm going to do some reading and laundry folding. #donotdisturb

I looooove this! Thanks for introducing me to this amazing stories full of magic and jokes that are so silly that are smart.
Wizord, your not so regular wizard, decides to stay on Earth and live like a human. With magic. And a talking koala. Just like any human,right?
But caos arises and some evil forces are sent to fight him. The story is full of intrigue and cliffhangers. I really really want to read what's next.

A wizard named Wizord is sent to earth to destroy the planet. He soon falls in love with the people & their freedoms & tries to save the planet, with the help of his trusty sidekick Margaret. Absurd, hilarious, a total blast. I picked this one up at the library. Excuse me while I run to my local comic book store for volume 2!

ABSURD, I feel is the right word for this. If you had told me my day was gonna be turned around by a comic with a rogue Wizord, my heart would catch as Margaret the koala would get sucked out of the top of an airplane in air, a hole made by an attacking RubyStitch, that Wizord would regain some power by watching Titanic, I would have told you you were outta your mind. Lol, I loved everything in here. #cursewords #wevegotissues #TeamMargaret

Curse Words volume 1

Wizord is most definitely not your typical wizard 🧙‍♂️ 😆 And I love it! And yes, I also love Margaret (the buff koala bear assistant 🐨 ❤️). This was overall a fun read, and I‘ll definitely continue it to see where the story goes 👍

What did I just read? It's such a fun read but man is it freaking weird. I would have never thought to pick this one up if not for #wevegotissues, but I am glad I did. "Stupid fun" is a great way to explain this one. Definitely curious to see what Wizord deals with next and to see what becomes of the revelations at the end.

@TricksyTails @GrilledCheeseSamurai

GarthRanzz Can‘t believe the first collection ended the way it did! I‘m like WTF?! 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Yay! Glad you liked it. The 2nd volume is just as weird and wonderful as this one and worth reading if you are so inclined! 👌 6y
InLibrisVeritas @GarthRanzz Right?! I'll definitely have to find the second volume and get some answers. 6y

TricksyTails I‘m so thrilled you enjoyed it! It‘s so ridiculous, it‘s awesome! Does your library offer Hoopla? I saw the second volume on there. 6y
InLibrisVeritas @TricksyTails Unfortunately no, they use the 3M system which is a bit lacking. I'm pretty sure I can find an inter-library loan copy though. 6y

This was such a super fun comic. I never would have thought to read this if not for the #WeveGotIssues buddy read. Now I want to read more. It's got wizards and spurned lovers and a koala. And ummm, what IS the deal with Margaret? That one panel had me like, huh???! I love this varient cover for issue four. #CBBR

TricksyTails You‘ve made my night! I love that cover too! Do you have Hoopla? The second volume is on there! 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai That's a fantastic variant cover! 😍 6y

#WeveGotIssues #CBBR
Okay, I know discussion isn‘t for a month, but I‘ll forget by then. Comics like this are where my new-to-the-genre-ness really shows. I have no idea how to follow the scenes on pages like the ones above and I find that frustrating. I wasn‘t crazy about the storyline or the art. The #teamMargaret and #NotMyMargaret gag was amusing, but not enough to carry the volume. I think I‘ll skip Vol. 2.

GrilledCheeseSamurai Awww. Sorry you didn't like it. Part of the reason I enjoyed this one as much as I did was because of the terrific coloring and the artistic panel mash up's. I guess that's not for everyone though. 🤷‍♂️ 6y
DGRachel @GrilledCheeseSamurai You win some, you lose some. Maybe I‘m just too linear - I excelled at algebra, but struggled with geometry and all that three-dimensional stuff. I appreciate being pushed out of my comfort zone, though, and I‘m looking forward to what you and @TricksyTails pick next. 😘 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @DGRachel Glad you aren't giving up on the medium all together! 👍 They can't all be winners for everyone all the time. 🙂 6y

DGRachel @GrilledCheeseSamurai Absolutely! I read my first comic 2 years ago, thanks to Litsy. I know I‘ve barely scratched the surface, and for every one like this one that doesn‘t click for me, there‘s a Saga or Lumberjanes or I Hate Fairyland that I absolutely love. (edited) 6y
TricksyTails Aww I‘m so sorry this didn‘t click with you. I completely understand where you‘re coming from though. I love your algebra/geometry reference! I‘m a math geek! 🤓 I do really love the artwork in this, especially the colors. Happy you‘re not giving up on us though! I hope you‘ll enjoy the next one! 😘😘😘 6y
