The Black Sable #1 (Zenescope, September 2017, $3.99)
This was an impulse purchase. I haven't read any other Zenescope books such as Grimm Fairy Tales, Van Helsing, or Robyn Hood, but this space pirate series written by Joe Brusha and drawn by Sergio Arino attracted me with its dual-mooned, swashbuckling, scene-setting cover.
The story is pretty standard space adventure. Pirates led by the Black Sable, a female captain, vie for fortune in the space ways against the Corporation. After freeing some slaves and sending them home, the crew heads to the Oasis for some rest and relaxation. There, Sable meets Blake, an old lover and foil.
As a first issue, this edition largely establishes the framework for the series: the world and how it works, the main characters, and the various groups competing for fame and fortune in that setting. I'm not sure it'll hold my interest, but it was a solid introduction to the new series—and a good first exposure to this publishing company.
Availability: You can order this issue direct from Zenescope or online via Comixology.
