Like Fables: The Wolf Among Us before it, the Black's Myth franchise proves that werewolves and detective noir are two great tastes that go great together. Now that the second Black's Myth series, The Key to His Heart, is being collected in trade paperback format, IGN can exclusively offer the entire first issue for your reading pleasure.
Head down to the slideshow gallery below to read the entirety of Black's Myth: The Key to His Heart #1, though beware of some NSFW language ahead:
The creative team on Black's Myth: The Key to His Heart includes writer Eric Palicki, artist Wendell Cavalcanti, and cover artist Liana Kangas. Here's Ahoy Comics' official description for the series:
It's back, the "moody tale that smartly blends familiar supernatural elements with the trappings of classic pulpy crime stories" (Comics Beat). In this new case, werewolf private eye Janie "Strummer" Mercado tries to prevent a young girl from becoming a monster, with the aid of her suave djinn assistant Ben Si'lat. But will Strummer gain an intern instead? And why is an old enemy sending mysterious packages to her house?
The Black's Myth Vol. 2: The Key to His Heart TPB is priced at $17.99 and is in comic shops now.
