Description
There is a world of magic, myth, and monsters that exists beneath the surface of our own.
In Lost Fantasy, a magical world lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it’s up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it…

I haven’t read a graphic novel in quite some time and I had a lot of fun! This really flexed the strong attributes of quick short prose with magical whimsy that best comes through with images. If you’re into a dark, sci-fi, cop-show, thriller sci-fi then this is for you! This was so good it really got me excited to read more.

Was looking forward to "Lost Fantasy" and it deserved my hype. Been seeing alt covers that give homage to some of the inspiration. Really like the Devil May Cry alt by Alex Diotto.

Bit over 100 years ago a natural disaster was used as an excuse for a magical incursion into our world. Since then the slayers of those monsters have worked with world leaders to obfuscate and contain magical threats. But things break through the cracks. In Montana something laid waste to a party of teens and the lone survivor is in a coma. Henry Blackheart is called in, things are going to get bloody.
Reasons to read:
-Based on just the first issue I feel like I could geek out on so many topics with the creators
-The magic we have seen is not a win button
-Big sword makes good brain chemicals
-The meta plot is going places
-Ominous foreshadowing
Cons:
-I prefer volumes so it means waiting longer to continue stories...
