Swanblade: Year One

★★★★½ "In this unapologetically dark graphic novel, hard-edged noir fiction collides with top-shelf illustration in a creative, mixed-media layout that feels like its own genre. This second installment improves on its predecessor with vividly realized action, an increasingly relatable hero, and an unpredictable array of plot twists." -- Self-Publishing Review The sequel to the critically acclaimed Swanblade: Year Zero is here. November 1958. 5 days until Thanksgiving.
