Stupidity in Magic has long been one of my favorite comics. This is a little surprising to me in that Willow Tayler focuses more on characters and short bits than the epic stories I tend to favor. Still, she’s brought her characters to life and managed to use character-driven plots to create an encompassing storyline whose foundation was set several years ago.

The court case character-Willow has been entangled in for these past few months has its roots in the assault Willow suffered a couple years back. In learning of the case against Willow, both readers and other characters likewise learned that Willow owned the Institute… and how this came about. No doubt there will be further ripples that will influence stories yet to come as well. That’s not bad for a character-driven plot.
