Urban Fey #1

Title: Urban Fey
Issue: #1: Urban Sprawl
Date: 2006
Publisher: Mystic Sheep Studios
Writer: Kimberley Long-Ewing
Art: Rhea Ewing

An urban fey named Neon attempts to keep the peace between spirits of concrete and asphalt, not to mention the pothole gremlins and the TLFs (Traffic Light Faeries). Half-sized minicomic by the team of Kimberley Long-Ewing and Rhea Ewing. These are not your father's fey, or so the band in the local gathering place loudly proclaims. There was a lot of hinted intrigue and rumors of impending war in this issue, and it did a nice job of building momentum once it got going. The opening street brawl scene was a bit hard to follow, but its main purpose seemed to just be to introduce the urban fey and what they are capable of before bringing the main character on board. It will be interesting to see where this goes once the various subplots really get moving.
