"Storm Born (Dark Swan)" comic by Richelle Mead

Usually I do my reviews on Sunday's, but this one is a short one and unual at that! I was asked by Patrick from Sea Lion Books if I would be interested in reviewing Richelle Mead's Dark Swan "Storm Born". I was totally in!




"Eugenie Markham never asked for any of this. Until now, she's been content with her job as a freelance shaman, battling and banishing Otherwordly creatures. When a prophecy suddenly maked her the Otherworld's most popular bachelorette, Eugenie finds herself fighting off unwanted supernatural suitors, as well as the evils that begin emerging from her past..."

I was surprised when I received the attachments though... as it was a comic!! Mind you, this might have been the first time I actually read one. I was a little skeptical before I began, wondering if I should just back out, but oh man.. I read the first page and was hooked! I kept scrolling down like a maniac, mouth agape and eyes bulging out of their sockets!
I sooo want to be Eugenie Markham. She is not only totally hot but can kick serious ass as well. Who doesn't like that combination? I will say that this comic is more for an older audience as there is some X-Rated content.

I got to review Issue 1-4 and loved each on of them and wished I had some more. Comics are a really fun way to see your favorite books come to life. Apart from the crazy job she endures day and day out, Eugenie is a simple girl that tends to keep to herself. Her father left when she was little and her mother tries to avoid the topic at all cost. Her stepdad, who took her in and raised her as his own is also a shaman, although now retired. In Issue #1 she is presented with the dilemma of crossing to the Otherworld to retrieve a 14 year old girl that has been taken to be raped and mistreated. Eugenie is eager to go, but she knows crossing over is too dangerous and she has no idea what she may find. Her guts, as well as her stepdad, tell her not to take her job but can she live with herself knowing she did nothing to save an innocent child?

"Storm Born (Dark Swan)" will be equally interesting for men and women, so do not pass up the chance to read them. They are incredible!

Below are the first 3 pages of "Storm Born (Dark Swan)"
