Bisclavret

My first live review from Anime Boston. Kel McDonald and the Sorcery 101 crew was across the aisle from me in Artists Alley. I picked up her minicomic, Bisclavret.

Title: Bisclavret
Publisher: Sorcery 101
Story: Marie De France
Artist: Kel McDonald

Half-sized minicomic adaptation of a French werewolf legend.

This was a really interesting take on the werewolf mythology with some great plot twists. A lady wonders where her lord disappears to when he goes away into the forest, and he reluctantly lets her in on his dark secret. The characters came off as complex and real, and the story came to a satisfying conclusion.

Kel McDonald's art style is clear and easy to follow, and she handles detailed action scenes with apparent ease. Very entertaining book.

Rating: 8.5/10
