The Sword #1

I came across this issue recently by the Luna Brothers after reading there Spider-woman Origins mini series.
and i really like this comic, the premise is simple basically a paraplegic girl in a wheelchair finds a magic sword beneath her house after her family was murdered and her house burned down by a pair of evil mages.
thereby giving her the exact means for her revenge which may seem a little too convenient but the mages where looking for that sword in the first place.

The pacing is so great that it only takes them 2 pages to shockingly reveal Dara is handicapped.

The art is very simple and clean too with soft pastel colors in some area's and a great sense of normalcy in everything from the backgrounds to the anatomy.

I have rarely seen such a collaborative effort where there lines of artistic deviation aren't divided up by Writer and Penciller.

I feel like i don't read enough indie comics for various reasons but this one feels very classic even tho it started in 2007 this could have been made at any time.
I really can't say enough about this book so please give it a try.
