Book Reviews:

“If you just want to check it out and the quickness of the read concerns you then I would recommend grabbing it digitally at a lower price. If you’d like to take in the strong visuals that I feel are highly worth it then pick it up in print and soak in all of the details and beauty. Whichever way you choose to read this issue be it print or digital, just know that you’re getting one heck of a story.” –Comic Bastards-



“The book almost reads more like a silent movie than a comic book. The stunning visuals carry the bulk of the storytelling, while the succinct narration works to fill in the details. The mostly black-and-white artwork manages to convey a fantastically dark world that makes the reader want to see more.” –Fanboy Comics



“In Blade of the North Wind we have the monomyth polished anew and invigorated by masterful art. Blade of the North Wind is a fantastic example of what small press comics can do when talented people are given the freedom to create their stories on their own terms.” –Comics Bulletin



“Intended for digital media, each panel uses the entire screen, giving readers the illusion of watching an animation rather than reading a static graphic novel.” –Killing the Grizzly



Art Style

Drawn in a unique landscape format with each panel filling the entire page, Blade of the North Wind is an immersive fantasy adventure like no other. It is an experience not to be missed.





Synopsis

Set in the fantastical land of Atharú, Blade of the North Wind is an epic fantasy adventure of a sheltered boy named Drasin, who witnesses the death of his older sister by the hands of a barbaric race; Kgarra,



This event sets into motion a great quest in hopes of finding the legendary hero with the power to end the Kgarra’s threat; the hero known as The Blade of the North Wind.



Along the way, Drasin meets a unique cast of characters and together they help each other survive. Soon, what started as a quest for vengeance quickly turns into a movement that inspires an army.



After trekking the country and battling through various terrains, a much older Drasin and his trusted companions succeed in defending the land. The victory weighs heavy on Drasin’s heart when he realizes that his people’s most treasured legend, the Blade of the North Wind, was nothing more than a fairytale.



He journeys alone to his homeland to pay homage when he finds his late sister’s discarded sketchbook buried in the ground. What he finds in those pages changes Drasin’s life forever.
