BABS THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH #1 (OF 6)
Description
Babs: The Black Road South is a sharp, subversive, and hilariously brutal entry into sword-and-sorcery, written by Garth Ennis with art by Jacen Burrows. In this first issue, Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy survive a gladiator arena brawl only to find themselves swept into a strange, moneyed world that is about to pull them down a dark road to Mordynn. Ennis fuses blistering action with irreverent humor and sharp social commentary, staging high-stakes fantasy with a wry, worldly voice. Burrows's gritty linework and moody palettes electrify the warped, deadly landscape, balancing savage combat with sly storytelling. Across its 32 pages, the issue establishes a bold tone for a six-part arc that skewers power, vanity, and corruption while delivering pulpy thrills and dark wit. A must for readers who crave bold, mature satire in fantasy comics.
