Summary:From the Site:
The Phoenix Requiem is a Victorian-inspired supernatural fantasy story about faith, love, death, and the things we believe in.
On a cold December night, a gentleman stumbles into the town of Esk, gunshot wounds leaving a trail of blood in the snow behind him. Despite making a full recovery at the hands of an inexperienced nurse - and deciding to make a new life for himself in the town - he is unable to escape the supernatural beings, both good and bad, that seem to follow him like shadows.
As they try to discover why, the nurse must question her beliefs and risk her own life in order to protect her family, her friends, and those that she loves.
Warning: Contains horror, violence, supernatural themes, drug use, and brief suggestive content. PG-13.
Overall Impression:
This is an all around well put-together comic: The coloring is what stands out most, as it is all painted in an airbrushed style (hard to do, and sharp!). The story is well put together with supernatural creatures and bonnets, and I am partial to the Victorian theme. The archive is vast (nearing 700 pages), so you can start at the beginning and have some good reading material for a long while, even though I am told the story will be drawing to a close soon. Sarah has several comics and creations that you can link to from the comic site. Definately on my 'Top Picks' List!Thanks for reading!
