Critics Review

Wrack & Rune is the queer fantasy romance you wish you had when you were a kid. Chris Kappel’s command of character and plot make it a delight to read, while Alex Arizmendi’s confident linework empowers each scene, pulling between huge action and smaller moments with grace.” – Josh Trujillo (writer Washington’s Gay General, Captain America)
