{"product_id":"black-star-vol-1","title":"Black Star Vol.1","description":"Smallville star Kristin Kreuk and the Critical Role team unite to create a supernatural gothic horror involving a clandestine group of magic users.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast aside for his magical ability, Dashiell Carlyle is welcomed into the mysterious Order of the Black Star to pursue a better tomorrow – but utopia comes at a deadly cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debut comic series by acclaimed actress Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Reacher, Murder in a Small Town). Co-written with Peter Mooney (Rookie Blue, Mistletoe Murders) and screenwriter Eric Putzer, and illustrated by artist Joe Bocardo (Nightwalkers, The Hexiles), this incredible collection of the comic book series is a Northern Gothic noir steeped in horror and dark humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the frozen wilds of Winnipeg, amidst skirmishes between two warring factions in the early nineteenth-century fur trade, Dashiell Carlyle discovers he has magical abilities… and that he’s not alone. Thrust into a secret order with designs to use their magic to build a new and better world, Dashiell discovers that their utopia may come at a horrific cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s a violent world: gritty, bloody, and dark. But that’s balanced with a sense of discovery and awe. The storytelling’s propulsive, and the morality grey. It’s The Revenant meets Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. It’s a love letter to a frozen corner of the world that few know. It’s weird and wonderful, and something wholly its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollecting Black Star #1-5.","brand":"Titan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67839706398911,"sku":"9781806182862","price":42.74,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/1-43176c7748771520518da59dc3435340a8cd3c9224dd28510b5483d44359f8e8.jpg?v=1793582782","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/black-star-vol-1","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
