Those are the rules that the protagonist, Wizord, has. Surprisingly enough he's a wizard for hire, who has gone against his mission to destroy Earth, and has instead decided to help it's citizens. During the first issue he is tracked down by Cornwall, someone from his world (The Hole World -
wherever that is), who wants to take down Wizord for not carrying out the orders that Sizzajee gave him.
We don't really get a ton of answers in this issue, nor do we get a lot of backstory for Wizord. There was enough to intrigue me to check out the next issue.

FYI, this issue is supersized which was pretty neat. The full page panel of Sizzajee was coloured beautifully and was probably my favourite panel of the issue. We get introduced to Ruby Stitch, Botchko, and Sizzajee at the end of the issue who all seem to be big players going forward which added a bit of plot to this issue.

Plot itself was a little lacking, but the battle scene between Wizord and Cornwall was done well, and the set up for the next issue will keep me around.
