One hundred years in the future the "age of pirates" has returned as mankind reaches out for the stars. Schooners have been replaced by star ships and these pirates wield space age weaponry, but they are as bloodthirsty and ruthless as their predecessors were centuries before them.
Experience a new universe of swashbuckling action and adventure in the vast reaches of space!
The Black Sable is an interesting journey into a rousing standard of history and the swashbuckling films of yesteryear. It is an interesting twist on turning over major roles of pirate and villain to women to see if it will open up the genre and allow us to see how this change will expand the story into something which has been overlooked by a male-dominated profession. The past has shown us most pirates are ruthless scoundrels, but will it take Sable to display the other side of this time-honored adventure into one of exploration or will she fall under the same barrage of cannon fire like those before her? I for one cannot wait to see what will happen. Read Full Review
Verdict on Black SableAll in all The Black Sable #1is a good introductory issue. We are introduced to the world of Black Sable and its many villains. I like Black Sable herself and I'm interested to see where the series takes her. I wish the first issue wasn't loaded with so many plot threads and characters but perhaps it will pay off later. If you're interested in trying a Zensescope title, then this is a good start. Read Full Review
While the elements being laid out are familiar, I've found that it's what comes next that usually defines the series. That said, I'm ready to read more and look forward to Sable's adventures. If this series is handled well, it could very well launch an entire space line at Zenescope which would be interesting to see and experience. Read Full Review
