The Sword is the bomb

You're a talented art student, a paraplegic with a doting father, living a fairly idyllic life with a loving family. Sitting down to dinner one night the door bell rings. It's three strangers, they're addressing your dad by a weird name, they want to know where some sword is, and they'll use superpowers to devastating effect to find out.

The Sword is nuts, and really good through the first four issues. We still don't know the back story behind the bad guys, Dara's father and the sword she discovers, but getting there's the fun part.

Created by The Luna Brothers, the story is basically modern day fantasy with a lot of action thrown in. The art has a simple look, but pulls no punches on some graphic visuals. I mean, with a name like The Sword, you know you're getting some people cut in half right?

Though the art looks slightly pixelated, you can check out the first issue craziness here.
