Soaked in retro-futuristic aesthetic and war-based technological evolution, D. K. Kristof’s emotionally ambitious and richly illustrated graphic novel, SWANBLADE: Year Zero, lays the groundwork for the series. Following in the footsteps of her decorated war hero dad, Kayla (Swanblade), a masked vigilante with enhanced parts and abilities, launches a high-profile assault against Krosschek, a massive cybernetically enhanced gangster, to keep the technologically advanced coastal city, New Radion Bay, safe. Through emotionally grounded flashbacks and moments of quiet vulnerability, Kristof establishes Kayla as a disciplined hero wrestling with rage and grief, rather than as a reckless avenger.
