Welcome to Litsy!

First volume is basically setting up the world. Witches in hiding, one of which is a cop; witch hunters; and a mysterious third group working dark magic. Sets up some interesting possibilities, but definitely feels like a beginning volume. Definitely curious to see where it goes. Art is rather muted but well done.

Time to catch up on Black Magic. If someone is looking for a witchy read for ghost season, then I recommend this series!
The art is stunning and the use of sepia tones and bursts of colour inspired.
The story is multilayered as well and keeps you wondering when and how it will all come (or maybe crash?) together.

A friend gave me this to read because she knows I like Greg Rucka comics. I loved it! 💚

It's a dark supernatural story with witches and unsolved crimes linked to dark magic, which are all somehow connected to the main character, Rowan Black.

This first volume pulls you into the story and leaves you dying to know what comes next.

The artwork is stunning too. 😍

This graphic novel is actually perfect to read near Halloween. She‘s a witch & someone or something is after her

I don‘t typically read black and white comics (although I‘ll read ANYTHING that Rucka puts out) but the way that little pops of color are used in this book are incredible to me.
A detective that also happens to be a witch. Yes, please.

I‘ve been putting off reading this until volume 2 was available... and I‘m so glad I did. If I had to wait for volume 2 I‘d be so frustrated. Though I think once I‘m done with volume 2 I‘m going to want volume 3 asap (and who knows if that‘s ever coming) 😄

This is a very well paced and fantastically drawn series. If you like noirish detective stories, strong female protagonists, and paganism this is the series for you.

Love this series and can‘t wait to get volume II. Rowan Black is a police detective and a witch, although only her friend/lover and fellow witch Alex knows. A series of crimes indicates that someone else out there knows Rowan‘s secret and is trying to kill her. Excellent art and story. https://cannonballread.com/2018/05/a-witch-with-a-badge/

Rowan Black is an awesome character! Collecting the first five issues of Black Magick. A good mix of of crime and horror.

First off: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! A great read with absolutely beautiful art, in a style that blends seamlessly with the storyline. A little bit mystery/thriller and a little bit paranormal. A perfect blend. I cannot recommend this enough. #graphicnovel

Loved these so, so much! For me, 2016 was a great year for comics and graphic memoirs.

And now I will stop flooding your feeds. 😊

It's a foggy day here in central CA--perfect for reading & a hot cup of tea. Also pictured: Seven to Eternity #3 by Remender & The Black Monday Murders #4 by Hickman.

Cop and ancient witch, Rowan finds herself hunted by a mysterious and deadly foe.

I loved the contrast between the gray tones for everyday life and the colors that denoted magical powers. I liked the story and am interested in reading more though it isn't really treading into any new territory story-wise.

I planned on starting a novel tonight but it didn't happen. I picked this up instead. Loving the story and enjoying the subtleties in the shades of gray art. When they add in color you know to pay attention!

Bookstore booty. Starting Black Magick first, I've liked other things by Greg Rucka so I hope it's good. 😛😊

Passes the Bechdel test. Also the Buffy test - which is when badass ladies tangle with supernatural shit. 👍🏼

Strong start in a new graphic novel series! Rowan Black is a detective and a witch. I'm already loving the storyline, and I can't wait to read the second volume! #scaretober #witches

This lady seems dangerous. I just picked up the first volume. Rowan Black is a cop who happens to also be a witch. She knows that magick is real. Lol. I see an ass whopping adventure in my future.
