comment |
An indie fantasy comic book, a Xenofiction of animals of the prehistoric Pleistocene epoch by Kay Fedewa.In the era where great mammoths roam the earth, and true civilization has yet to be born, a wolf named Swiftkill has long eked out a solitary life on the edges of the land of Inaria after the death of her mother. Said life is interrupted by a run-in with two hyenas about to eat a young Inarian wolf named Cricket, whom Swiftkill saves from them.Because of Swiftkill's infamous reputation as the "green-eyed devil", she's soon captured by the Inarians and sentenced to death in their tar pits before the intervention of their leader, Zephyr. When she runs off upon release and gets followed by Cricket, who seeks to help Inaria, the two of them end up going on a journey that leads them first to the deserts of the Shadeless pack, and eventually the territory of the notorious Rubicund faction, where a past that Swiftkill would prefer to leave behind lies in wait...The current story is a reboot of the original comic. The reboot can be read here. The original comic (which had a different storyline) can be read here.Not to be confused with Blackblood Brothers.Now has a character page! |

Mythology Gag |
| | The Blackblood Alliance (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e |
comment |
Mythology Gag: Swiftkill biting into a butterfly out of the air is highly reminiscent of how she and some of the other Blackbloods caught bats in the old comic. The bat-eating returns when the Shadeless decide to share dinner with Swiftkill. The character Heatstroke may have been inspired by Yuff, a coyote character that never got to appear in the original comic. They even have the Shared Unusual Trait of mismatched eyes. |

comment |
Animal Religion: In the prologue, Swiftkill tells her dying mother that she prayed like she showed her to and asks if God is with her now. "God" then shows up, but it's a hellish hyena that eats her mother offscreen (and threatens to kill her as well unless she watches him do it.) It's not clear whether the hyena really is something supernatural or if it's just a normal hyena that only appears demonic because we're seeing it through Swiftkill's perspective and is calling itself "god" to further break her. |

People of Hair Color: Animal version. Each pack roughly has its own typical coat color, though there are wolves who don't follow this pattern. Inarians tend to have gray fur, the Rubicund have red fur, the Shadeless used to have a brownish color, but their descendants tend to have yellow on them now (Anyway is an exception with their dark fur). The hyenas also follow this trope. They tend to be a hard to describe brownish-yellowish color. |

Take a Third Option: Played in a far darker way then usual. In an attempt to remove all her rivals for the Inarian throne, Rapier tries to kill her two younger siblings. They scatter in different directions, forcing Swiftkill to chose which pup to save. Swiftkill goes into "The Fury" and mauls Rapier, and for a moment it looks like she took a third option and saved both pups. In her rage, she unintentionally killed BOTH pups herself. |

Mook Chivalry: The wolves with Rapier take Swiftkill on one by one, instead of doing the sensible thing and ganging up on her. |

Feminist Fantasy: Both versions of the comic are very good about having powerful, well-developed female characters, and most of the characters driving the plot (in both versions) thus far are female. |

Science Marches On: Unfortunately, recent DNA evidence has indicated that despite their very strong skeletal similarities, dire wolves were actually not true wolves at all and belong to their own genus, which in real-life has brought into question whether they could breed with gray wolves, like Swiftkill's mother did. |

comment |
Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Apparently, the wilds of prehistoric America were filled with bright red, yellow and orange dire wolves. Some Inarian gray wolves have tints of even stranger colors like purple. It works, as the style and art is very beautiful and professional, and resembles an animated film. Swiftkill somehow manages to combine red and greyish-cream and still look nice despite (or maybe because of) the unusual color combo. |

comment |
Gambit Pileup: The saberteeth are trying to conquer the wolves of Inaria, who seek help from the Blackblood wolves, who Blade's faction are plotting against. But only some Blackbloods want to help Inaria, so the Blackblood group quickly splits in two. Also, there is a secret group of malcontents within Inaria's pack who want to usurp the current alpha(s), so they orchestrated the Blackblood wolves' exile years before. Now, the Blackblood wolves actually know about this faction and what it did to them, but the Inarian pack refuses to believe them, partly because the malcontents are led by one of the alphas' daughters. All this is established in one issue. |

comment |
Shown Their Work: The hyenas are based on a real, obscure] hyena genus (Chasmaporthetes, also known as running hyenas) that actually lived in America alongside wolves at the time. Their designs are appropriately more doglike compared to living hyenas, as the genus is known as the "dog-like" hyenas. Their designs also resemble striped hyenas and brown hyenas, two real and still living hyena species that are only a tad less obscure. The "Equus" appears to be a Equus occidentalis, also known as the Western horse. It was one of the animals dire wolves actually preyed upon. |
