Hotblood! Vol. 1

Hotblood! is a searing neo-Western about losers, gamblers, and the rest crushed under the wheel of America’s great Industrial victory. This comic has wit, grit, and a bold visual panache that’ll leave readers parched, seeking blood and oil in the haunting vistas of Orlesky’s unforgettable hinterland. -- <B>- Jennifer Giesbrecht, author of <I>The Monster of Elendhaven</I></B> Toril Orlesky’s Hotblood! came charging out of the gate as a slick specimen of a webcomic, indelibly crafted with expertise beyond her years, but this graphic novel re-imagining is something else entirely—a cinematic poem on the page. Each panel resonates with a breathtaking mysticism befitting the intertwined magic and cruelty of our American excursions into this land’s West; the stoic dressing of an intimate story powered by a throbbing red heart (or two). Make no mistake: this is a generational achievement in the medium of comics. --  - <B>Suzanne Geary, author of <I>Brainchild </I>(https://www.brainchild.suzannegeary.com/)</B> Cinematic, sharp, and exquisitely rendered, Hotblood! will grab you by the reins and make you beg for more. -- <B>-- Ariel Slamet Ries, author of <I>Strange Bedfellows</I> and <I>Witchy</I></B> Moody colors, strange creatures, an expansive and ever-shifting landscape, this is the work of a true auteur–you’ve never experienced a Western like this, I guarantee. -- <B>-- Wendy Xu, Best-selling Author of <I>The Infinity Particle</I></B>
