Do you like airport bestseller fantasy thriller cliff-hanger stuff? Or rather: is there anyone out there who doesn't? Sometimes all you ever want is some fast-moving frantic adventure that has nothing more on it's mind that keeping you hooked on reading to the next staggering revelation/impossible situation/cool climax. The Sword (written and drawn by The Luna Brothers - Joshua and Jonathan) is a comic that knows exactly how to fasten itself into your inside of your head and what sort of things to pump in there in order to keep you coming back for more. Breezy, light-footed and with snazzy fight scenes that would make even Neo go "whoa" it doesn't stop pulsing forward until the very last page. Yeah - A week after you've finished reading it you probably won't be able to remember a thing: the characters are two-dimensional, the dialogue perfunctory and it's as cheesy as several tons of gorgonzola but the artwork is precise and clean-cut and all it wants to do is show you sometime exciting and fun with lots of epic passion and bloodthirsty action.
