Son of Merlin #1 took me immediately back to the late 1990s when Matt Hawkins launched his Lady Pendragon universe for Image. That’s basically what this is, just updated for current times.

First off, Robert Place Napton was a great choice for writer for this series. He’s got the experience doing this kind of book, and that helps a lot. What I liked about this comic is that it’s Merlin and Morgan in modern times. They’re not pulled through a portal and are now fish out of water; instead, they’ve been living continuously from ancient times right up until now. And, from the looks of things, they’ve been fighting a war since they first became enemies. Now, this book IS called The Son of Merlin, so obviously, the son of Merlin actually comes into play in this issue. As much fun as I had with this book, Merlin’s son turns out to be the fish out of water in this book. It’s the typical “I’m a man of science, I don’t believe in magic” that we’re seen in a lot of comics before this, so I hope that future issues steer away from that.
