Necropolis, also known as The Third Sword, is an online web comic created by freelance comic book artist Jake Wyatt. Wyatt has worked as an artist at Marvel and Nickelodeon, as well as many other freelance jobs. His comic in its -current- entirety can be found on his Tumblr here. I am particularly drawn to this comic, because of its beautiful and consistent aesthetic, its captivating storyline, and the intense amount of detail put into each page. The comic follows the story of a young girl who seeks power, an enchanted sword, and revenge against the men who destroyed her city and killed her father.
Pictured below are a few pages from the comic itself.
