Blood Honey

The drama fuses romance, fantasy, and action with retro-inspired art and moody horror, delivering sharp dialogue and a bold visual style. Blood Honey offers a memorable, darkly stylish entry that triangulates power, loyalty, and desire in adolescence, making it a standout in modern graphic storytelling.
