17 issue comic series read in a graphic novel compendium format mixes a sci-fi world with a historic medieval earth sensibility to relate the tale of a family that has sequestered from the larger society to remain pure from the rot that infests it. The title of the series starts as a loose confederation of creatures to bring an end to society’s ills by separating the king from his thrall and restoring justice to the world and the good name of the protagonist and his family, but turns out to be a double entendre that we don’t learn until the close of the story, when all is lost and corrupted. Our hero is the villain, the villain sought an end, and all the other characters were playing the angles for a piece of their own small part of the world. A very nihilistic story told during nihilistic times. Great art and a very entertaining dark tale.
