Read the full take

66,666 Years: Advent of the Dark Mage is a revenge fantasy with an arresting hook: a powerful mage sealed away for ages wakes in a newborn's body and plans a reckoning. The premise carries intrigue, and the contrast between an ancient grudge and a cozy family life gives the story a memorable tone. The art is clean and dramatic, especially when dark magic and divine conflict take centre stage. The drawback is repetition. Revenge arcs can circle familiar ground, and the slower family scenes sometimes stall the momentum the premise builds. The series is still releasing. Fans of dark-mage stories and reincarnation revenge should enjoy the striking concept and the mood. Readers wanting faster plot turns may need more patience. A stylish, engaging read with a strong opening hook and a tone worth sampling.
