The first comic from acclaimed novelist Melissa F. Olson, author of the Old World series! Meet Tess Halliday, a broke single mom desperate to protect her kids from vicious criminals trying to collect on her ex-husband's debts. Following a mysterious message, Tess flees to the mysterious island of Demonde-a place of demons, legendary creatures, and a family secret that just might cost Tess her life. Artist Sally Cantrino (I Walk With Monsters) deftly brings this mystical world to life.
Archaic #1 is a good introduction into this brand-new world. The story is shrouded in mystery and as the layers are peeled back it unfolds in an interesting way. Melissa F. Olson does a great job of building anticipation and not giving too much away. Read Full Review
