The five-part comic series, Black Star, takes place during the early 1800s, amidst the world of the fur trade. It’s been described as a blend of The Revenant and the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The story centers around Dashiell Carlyle, who unexpectedly discovers he has magical powers and isn’t the only one. He’s quickly drawn into a hidden organization that wants to use magic to build a better world, but Dashiell soon realizes this dream might come at a terrible price. A preview of the fully illustrated comic (available below) offers a glimpse of what those costs could be.
