Robbie Morrison wrote 'Shakara: The Avenger,' and man, does it show his range. Known mostly for his work in 2000 AD, he took a sharp left turn with this one. The comic’s got this eerie, almost silent-movie quality where the visuals (courtesy of Henry Flint) carry the weight. Morrison’s script is tight, minimal—just enough to guide Flint’s chaotic, beautiful art. It’s a perfect example of how comics can be a collaborative dance between writer and artist. If you dig trippy, high-concept sci-fi, Morrison’s name on the cover is usually a good sign.
Shakara: The Avenger' is one of those comics that sticks with you—not just for its wild, surreal art style but because it feels like nothing else out there. The mastermind behind this cosmic revenge story is Robbie Morrison, a Scottish writer who’s dabbled in everything from 'Judge Dredd' to 'Nikolai dante.' But here’s the kicker: the real magic comes from Henry Flint’s artwork. Flint’s jagged, hyper-detailed panels make Shakara’s rampage through the universe feel like a fever dream. Morrison’s writing is sparse, almost poetic, letting the visuals do most of the talking. It’s a collaboration that works because both creators understand the vibe—this isn’t your typical hero tale. Shakara’s silent, unstoppable fury against a galaxy of oppressors hits harder because of how little dialogue there is. Morrison trusts the reader to fill in the gaps, which is rare in mainstream comics.
I first stumbled on 'Shakara' in a used bookstore, and the cover alone—this biomechanical alien with glowing eyes—had me hooked. The story’s pace is relentless, like a riff on 'Alien' meets '2000 AD,' but with way more existential dread. Morrison doesn’t spoon-feed you lore; you’re thrown into this world where empires collapse because one creature decides enough is enough. It’s a short series, but every issue packs a punch. If you’re into comics that prioritize mood over exposition, this is a goldmine. Flint’s art elevates Morrison’s script into something that feels like a cult anime OVA from the ’90s—visceral and unforgiving.

Zephyr is the last air dragon in existence. For a century and a half, she has searched for her mate. Finally, she decides to have a true dragon with Avani, the last earth dragon and only remaining male dragon. Her son, Ancalagon, is the last of the pure dragons.
Ishir is a Bengal tiger shifter. He became friends with Avani before he was captured and placed into an Arena. There he met Tana, the fire dragon. He befriended her, her hybrid daughter and eventually her Lycan mate. He has been working to rescue shifters and sometimes even missing humans as his job for years. It was during a meeting to discuss taking down a new Arena that Ishir met Zephyr and realized that he was mated to a dragon.
When Zephyr recognizes Ishir as her mate, she refuses to acknowledge him. After all this time, she finally finds her mate when she’s just had her son. But a dragon can’t stay away from their mate, and in a moment of weakness, she goes to Ishir, spending a night of passion more intense than anything she could have imagined.
However, when she returns home, she finds that her son has been kidnapped, taken by hunters. She begins searching for him, half crazed to protect him from the people who so willingly kill shifters.

Jaiyana Chakravarti has spent her life buried in research, chasing ancient stories whispered through her family line—legends of a forgotten goddess-warrior whose blood still runs in her veins. Now, as a doctoral student conducting fieldwork for her dissertation, Jaiyana’s awakening to her true power with the help of the secretive Obscura Directorate—an organization that protects dangerous relics, forbidden knowledge, and the supernatural threats the world no longer remembers—comes just in time as her true enemy reveals himself.
When a long-dormant Demon King rises to reclaim the world he once nearly destroyed, Jaiyana discovers the legends were never just stories. Her lineage holds the power to stop this ancient evil… but only if she learns to wield the celestial weapons crafted for her ancestor. And those weapons are locked within the Directorate’s vaults, requiring trials she never trained for and strength she isn’t sure she possesses.
Kaplan, a white tiger shifter and the last heir of a warrior line once sworn to protect Jaiyana’s goddess-blooded ancestor, is sent to fulfill an ancient promise: he is her fated mate, battle partner, and equal. But the bond between them is not forced, it is a choice of love.

Shakara: The Avenger is one of those hidden gems in comics that punches way above its weight with sheer audacity. Created by Robbie Morrison and artist Henry Flint, it's a wild, psychedelic revenge story set in a distant future where humanity has colonized the galaxy but remains as corrupt as ever. The protagonist, Shakara, is the last of their kind—a biomechanical warrior species wiped out by humans. What follows is a relentless, visually stunning rampage as Shakara hunts down those responsible, blending cosmic horror with over-the-top action. The art is chaotic in the best way, all jagged lines and surreal landscapes, making every panel feel like a fever dream.
What I love most is how it subverts expectations. Shakara isn’t a brooding antihero; they’re an unstoppable force of nature, almost Lovecraftian in their indifference. The story doesn’t bother with moral dilemmas—just pure, cathartic vengeance. It’s like if 'Alien' met 'Dune' and then someone injected it with neon steroids. The pacing is breakneck, but Morrison sneaks in themes about colonialism and genocide without ever slowing down. If you’re into comics that prioritize vibes over exposition, this is a must-read. The ending still haunts me—no spoilers, but it’s the kind of bleak poetry that sticks to your ribs.
Oh, talking about 'Shana' immediately takes me back to those high school days when I first discovered 'Shakugan no Shana'! The author is Yashichiro Takahashi, who also wrote the light novel series that the anime was based on. Takahashi has this knack for blending intense action with deep emotional undertones, which is why Shana's story stuck with me for so long. The way he crafted her fiery personality and the whole 'Flame Haze' lore was just brilliant.
I remember binge-reading the novels after watching the anime, and Takahashi's writing style really stood out—detailed world-building but never overwhelming. It's one of those series where you can tell the author poured his heart into it. Even now, I occasionally rewatch some episodes just to relive that mix of nostalgia and excitement.
