Seraph Inn - Phoenix Requiem

Phoenix Requiem

THE STORY

The Phoenix Requiem is a Victorian-inspired supernatural fantasy story about faith, love, death, and the things we believe in.
On a cold December night, a gentleman stumbles into the town of Esk, gunshot wounds leaving a trail of blood in the snow behind him. Despite making a full recovery at the hands of an inexperienced nurse - and deciding to make a new life for himself in the town - he is unable to escape the supernatural beings, both good and bad, that seem to follow him like shadows.
As they try to discover why, the nurse must question her beliefs and risk her own life in order to protect her family, her friends, and those that she loves.
Warning: Contains horror, violence, supernatural themes, drug use, and brief suggestive content. PG-13.

 I've recommended another webcomic by author Sarah Ellerton, Inverloch, a few months ago, and to my neverending shame... I forgot to recommend this comic as well. You can view my.... hmm... review I suppose it is, here.
 Moving on now...

I've actually stumbled upon Phoenix Requiem before reading Inverloch. It was still an ongoing webcomic at the time so, on a free weekend I spent the better part of my time reading Inverloch and hoping PR would update faster.
PR is a story about a man who is plagued by shades and falls in love with the woman who saves his life. The story retells their experiences when faced with the supernatural and their reactions in the face of a shade invasion.

The story has a good ending, not one I was expecting but even better. I don't want to spoil anything but I can guarantee it is good!
There are 25 chapters split in five volumes so there's plenty of reading and awesome art to admire on a weekend.

Enjoy!
