Sword Daughter

Set in a harsh, snow-swept Viking-age landscape, Sword Daughter (2018–2020, Dark Horse) follows a young woman's quest for vengeance and survival after her clan is massacred. With moody, atmospheric art by Greg Smallwood and Ben Oliver, the nine-issue series blends brutal action with a quiet, intimate story of a fractured family. It stands as a striking, self-contained epic from a creator-driven publisher, celebrated for its cinematic visual storytelling and stark emotional depth.
