The Sword is The Great

It's hot.

It's hot.

So my good buddy Ryan over at Charging Star Comics finally started getting in my requested copies of "The Sword" by the Luna Brothers.  Damn it's good.  In one sitting I read through both "Fire" and "Water", the first two trade paperback volumes.  Looks like there are going to be a total of 4 volumes, with the third, "Earth" having been published last month.

The art is good.  It's not the normal style I enjoy, but that's okay.  Make that the character designs.  The art itself is beautiful, but I think the faces are all a little too round.  <shrug>

What I find truly awesome is the writing.  So far, the main characters are developing as the mystery is unfolded to both the reader and the characters themselves.  That story also happens to be really great.

The main character is a paraplegic college art student.  The story is also an action romp.  Awesomeness.

Oddly enough, I think the closest story I can relate to "The Sword" would be "Robocop".  That's a compliment, really.

Get it, read it.  I can't wait until I get the next two volumes and then I can read all 4 of them again straight through.
