"HEROES DON'T FALL BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK, KAYLA.
THEY FALL BECAUSE THEY STAND WHERE OTHERS CAN'T."

Swanblade follows ballerina Kayla McAllister, the strong-willed daughter of retired superhero and war veteran Captain Atomic Ace, in an alternate 1950s world spiraling into chaos. After a devastating attack leaves her a triple amputee, Kayla receives experimental prosthetics and is thrust into a rising storm. As she battles old enemies and new threats, Kayla struggles with vengeance and legacy in becoming the symbol her city desperately needs.​

The first reader and editorial reviews for Swanblade: Year Zero are in and they are stellar! You can also read an interview with author and creator D.K. Kristof here.

★★★★½

"A supercharged origin story for an innovative new hero, Swanblade: Year Zero by D.K. Kristof is a dark but brilliant addition to the pantheon of superhero graphic novels.... Accented with vibrant illustrations and a hard-boiled voice that captures the heroic urgency and sacrifice of civic service, this first installment of Kristof’s ambitious series stands apart in a perennially crowded genre with its strict attention to narrative detail."
