The Sword is a modern-day fantasy series and the third comic book series created by Jonathan and Joshua Luna at Image Comics. Told is the saga of Dara Brighton, a wheelchair-bound art student whose life is changed forever when one evening three mysterious strangers with Elemental Powers enter her family's house demanding that her father, whom they call "Demetrios", return their sword. The trio ransacks the house and tries to torture the sword's location out of her baffled father, killing her mother and sister before accidentally killing him. The trio is about to kill Dara and call it a day when the ceiling collapses, knocking her through the floor. Rather than bother to kill the crippled girl, Dara is Left for Dead beneath the burning house.Miraculously, Dara happens to land right next to an antique sword stuck in the ground. Grabbing it heals her injuries, restores the use of her legs, and grants her superhuman abilities. Clearly this is the sword her family was killed over.At her family's funeral, Dara meets Justin, one of her father's students, whose fondest memories of her father involve the stories he'd tell in class; stories about Demetrios, a ~4000 year old hero who uses his mystical sword to protect humanity from Knossos, Zakros, and Malia, a trio of godlike elemental-powered siblings.After Dara uses the sword to dispatch some mooks sent to kidnap her from the funeral, revealing her powers in the process, she goes on the run with her best friend Julie, and Justin, determined to use Justin's knowledge of her father's stories to track down and kill her family's murderers. All the while, they have to dodge the nationwide manhunt and mass media craze that spring up once footage of Dara's superpowered exploits become widespread. Throughout her quest, flashbacks provide glimpses into Dara's life before the sword and her father's secret past as Demetrios. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: twice. First, when Zakros has caught Dara unarmed and is torturing her for the location of the sword, Julie comes in and throws the sword across the room, impaling Dara, thereby allowing it to heal her. Later, Dara uses this to take Malia down when she's floating out of reach of Dara's Super Jumping. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Demetrios believed that the siblings had the potential for good and spent thousands of years stopping them from using their powers to control people but sparing their lives in the hopes that being forced to live as humans would see them come to appreciate and love humanity. It didn't really work out; Knossos ruled in subtlety, becoming an underground crimelord, Zakros became bitter and disgusted with humans, yet too terrified of the sword to do more than the occasional serial killing, and Malia learned how useful humans could be and how to manipulate them without powers. Ironically, he had to best luck with Phaistos, whom he stabbed and sent to the center of the earth—He learned patience from his efforts to get out, and came to understand and appreciate humans by trying to find one who he could use to kill his siblings. | |

Made of Plasticine: Justified by everyone involved having ridiculous Super-Strength and/or an Absurdly Sharp Blade. Or by having been damaged so damn much their body literally falls apart when something isn't actively healing it. | |

| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_7095c87e | comment |
The Masquerade: The demigods would like nothing more than to reveal their powers to the mortals and rule them as gods, but they keep them a secret because if they don't, the wielder of the sword will hunt them down. Likewise, Demetrios kept his past a secret so the demigods wouldn't be able to get the drop on him and take the sword. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: Malia manages this for awhile by telling the media a revisionist version of her past that makes it seem like her brothers and Demetrios were the evil ones and she just wants to save humanity from a power-mad Dara. In the military's defense, they don't quite trust her. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Zakros makes a comparison between humans and gods, pointing out that humans are just as prone to murdering, abusing, and enslaving others as he and his siblings are. Dara later pulls one of these on Malia after the latter's Accidental Public Confession shows how susceptible she is to human emotion. | |

Foreshadowing: Whenever Dara mentions that her father used to tell stories about his past as Demetrios to his college class, the person she's talking to invariably comments on how reckless and sloppy that was for someone trying to keep it a secret. It would have been stupid if he had actually ever done that. Knossos buries one of his henchmen for putting a successful idea to expand his empire into motion without consulting him. It seems like he's just being a bad boss, but when Dara points out his lack of creativity he flips out. He simply cannot, will not, accept that humans can prove his equal or even surpass him in some way. | |

Fate Worse than Death: When Phaistos was stabbed by Demetrios, he lost his temper and his powers went out of control, melting the earth around him until he eventually sank all the way to the Earth's core, where his immortality kept him alive and the gravity kept him in place. He kept trying to climb out, but kept sinking back to the core again. It took him around 2000 years to finally make it to the surface. | |

Gorn | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: Not only do the brutal fight scenes exploit the Healing Factors of Dara and her opponents, they also showcase some of the creative and gruesome things one can do to the human body with Elemental Powers, Super-Strength, and an Absurdly Sharp Blade. | |

Determinator: Dara. Her flashbacks go some way to explaining how she developed her Heroic Willpower, but it's still impressive how hard she fights and how much pain she takes through the course of her quest. | |

The Load | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Justin and Julie are both Muggles, but Justin stands out as the whinier, more cowardly of the two. Julie tags along as moral support, but Justin's stated reason for going along is that in exchange for screwing up his life, Dara has to protect him. Of course, it eventually turns out that Justin isn't who he seems... | |

Groin Attack | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Dara mocks Malia for not being able to bear children, so the infuriated demigoddess yanks out Dara's uterus and STOMPS on it, taunting her by telling her it'll never heal right, even with the sword. At one point, Dara lands what might be the single most powerful groin kick in the history of fiction. The guy she hits with it goes flying maybe 50 feet straight up. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Knossos's Dishing Out Dirt powers have afforded him a lot of this. In his life, he's been responsible for building many of the world's ancient temples, he's forged black market diamonds and created weapons for terrorists, and in the present, he runs a massive drug cartel with his ability to create extremely pure meth. | |

Redemption Equals Death: It happens to Phaistos/Justin After his siblings are dead by the hands of Dara he could have just killed her and become a conqueror like his deceased siblings, but, having come to understand the feelings of mortals and their love and hatred, he commits suicide with the sword. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| The Sword (Comic Book) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Phaistos falls through the Earth's crust and sinks to the solid core, where gravity is impossibly strong. Gravity actually lessens as you travel towards the core; briefly, gravity is roughly that which you'd experience if you were only affected by the portion of the earth between you and the center (gravity inside a uniform hollow shell is zero; here's the math). Additionally, the density of a human being is less than the density of rock, especially at those pressures; an indestructible humanoid would simply float in the magma rather than sinking to the core. | |
