Product Description
Product Description
When Ella attends a séance for a report in her local paper, she gets sucked into the world of Mysterius (the Unfathomable), a magician who's more than just a performer of flashy tricks. Sensing Ella is the perfect person to play the role of his assistant, Delfi (the latest in a long line), Mysterius hires her. Their cases drag them deep into the modern world of magic, at least one pocket dimension, and the wicker effigy about to be set alight at a Burning-Man-esque festival. Acclaimed creators Jeff Parker (X-Men: The First Class, Agents of Atlas) and Tom Fowler (GREEN ARROW, CAPER) make their WildStorm debut with this exciting, offbeat new miniseries!

Definitely worth a read, May 30 2011
By Ricky Pooski "cool" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mysterius (Paperback)
This is one of those weird hyperkinetic books that keeps moving with plots and counterplots pushing the action forward and mysteries involving evil grandmothers, children's books that double as gateways to hell and a psychotic wizard who is using the Burning Man gathering as a gambit for immortality.Of course, the main character is usually what sells these stories and the Sherlock Holmes/Dr Watson angle works well with a reporter from a alternative weekly finding the eccentric title character at a seance. Before she can get back to her publisher, he's ruined that job for her and hired her as his assistant. Drunk, incorrigible and doling out information in small doses, Mysterius is one of the craziest takes on the Sherlock Holmes characters in years. And his Moriarty is truly worthy of that title.
It's not the deepest book in the world and you forget most of it after you've finished but it's a great read nonetheless.
