Published from 2015 to 2017, this two-issue series blends classic sword-and-sorcery tropes with a thoughtful, character-driven narrative, showcasing Dewey’s lush, expressive art and Busiek’s knack for worldbuilding. It stands out as a concise, visually stunning meditation on hubris, survival, and the cost of desperate magic.
