New Story Arc. Black Cloak returns! Something old has awakened beneath the city. In the five years since the "Essex Fire," Kiros has changed dramatically.

Black Cloak is shaping-up to be one of the more consistently impressive and original series to have come out in the past five years. There is SUCH a sense of invention about it that echoes through a very novel look at a very familiar kind of story. The narrative feels like it falls pretty tightly between Raymond Chandler and J.R.R. Tolkien. Its a fun and stylish walk between two covers. Read Full Review
