Null Faeries Volume 1: Dust Pilot Down
Null Faeries Volume 1: Dust Pilot Down | Chad Cicconi
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
This deluxe collection includes the complete first story of the Null Faeries. Featuring a mature, intelligent female protagonist, this story will resonate with fans of high fantasy, sword and sorcery, faerie tales, and action adventure. Our tale begins with Ionantha Hesperis, the greatest of the Faerie Queen's Harvester Corps, felled by a cursed blade and stripped of her magic powers. Forgotten, no longer immortal, but refusing to die, Ionantha learns to exist relying on cunning rather than magic in a society fueled by a power she can no longer touch. But when the queen's pixie dust shipment is hijacked by an unknown assailant with knowledge of secret faerie lore, Ionantha is summoned into service once more and tasked by a vengeful Queen with solving the case of the century. Set in both faerie and human worlds and spanning in time from the post-civil war era to the dawn of the Industrial Age, this story touches issues relevant to a modern reader, including tribalism, racial prejudice, sexuality, resource allocation, and the loss of societal status suffered by mature women.

3 🌟 I will say right up front the story line is a 4 star read, the illustrations are a 2 star. Why do men feel the need to draw women, even fantasy women so scantily clad, with extremely large breasts and tiny waists. . A crazy adult has figured out how to spot fairies, and now wants their power, and will do anything to get it. There are places that this story can go. Now if only it had a better illustrator.

KathyWheeler That business with drawing women makes me crazy! My husband showed me a picture of one of the women in a Dresden Files graphic novel, and her breast and waist sizes were ridiculous. Jim Butcher always inappropriately brings in descriptions of women‘s breasts, but this was even more insane than that. 5y
LibrarianRyan @KathyWheeler exactly. I purposely didn‘t choose one of those pictures. 5y

Oldschool_millenial I grew up reading comics and I'm at the point where I shake my head and move on. Luckily my dad, a comic book/graphic novel illustrator, at the very least draws women with real proportions. He is guilty of drawing scantily-clad and/or naked women, but he tries to imbue them with dignity so that they are more than just eye candy. 5y
