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

"Swanblade: Year One is a non-stop page turning graphic novel that is both edgy and
gritty. The book is full of both rich imagery and vibrant dialogue that combine to make
this story even more compelling than its predecessor. By the time of its conclusion, the
reader will be clamoring for more from the immensely talented author."
