On a first glance at the cover and that elevator pitch, you’d be forgiven for thinking of this as a sword-and-sandals affair, and you’re not entirely wrong—that genre is sword-heavy. But SHARP WIT is much more than that, and the creative team took the core concept into romance, comedy, horror, and modern tales of cosplay and cons. That team, by the way, including Fell Hound, Skylar Patridge, Jadzia Axelrod, Liana Kangas, and Eva Cabrera, is an exhilarating sample of today’s top talent and curated newcomers that will help comics fans keep up with the fast pace of change in the industry.
Speaking of exhilaration, the word that comes to mind after reading these stories is “brisk” and you’ll see why when you try a few! Each is a window into an exciting new world, with unexpected new takes and perspectives by their primarily women and non-binary creators. This demographic mix helps SHARP WIT avoid the “dudebro” trappings such a concept might fall into in less capable hands. It’s unlike anything else out there, and it’s a ton of fun.
Sharp Wit and the Company of Women arrives on March 5, 2024.
