BLACK LION #4: THE CONCLUSION

Although packaged as part of a compilation through Redbud Studio and Indy Planet (see June '22 post), Black Lion #4 concludes Ron Fortier/Kevin Johnson's epic saga under separate cover.  

Black Lion tells the noble tale of Jamal Lyon, a former Navy Seal who embarks on a mission to find and defeat the treacherous, rogue soldier, Conrad Tobias Valane, but along the way, comes to help a fellow vet, the downtrodden Nathan Brewster.

Fortier's storytelling is rendered with a determined yet tender Rambo vibe, and Kevin Johnson's artwork is strong and nimble. (To empower the conclusion, Warren Montgomery lends his inks, and Arrick Church layers on the fine coloring, ensuring this chapter's quality as nothing less than top-notch.) 

Black Lion will likely be perceived as a classic some day, so why not welcome its melodramatic splendor while it makes its historic rise? Purchase #4, and all of its effective lead-ins. at

RON FORTIER/KEVIN JOHNSON'S BLACK LION: A FOUR-CHAPTER EDITION

All four chapters of writer Ron Fortier and artist Kevin Johnson's Black Lion are now available in one convenient volume, thanks to Redbud Studio. 

Black Lion tells the tale of Jamal Lyon, a former Navy Seals operative, who's recruited by Commander Peter Trent to snuff out rogue mastermind, Conrad Tobias Valane, who's up to no good in the Canadian Rockies. Along the way, Lyon discovers a fellow vet, Nathan Brewster, who merely wishes to hid away from society's hustle and bustle, but alas, circumstances are stacked against that hope, leaving the noble Black Lion to intercede. 

Fortier and Johnson's adventure is not only packed with covert intrigue but identifiable characterizations, placing it on a sophisticated and empathetic level not found in most such hard-hitting yarns. 

Without question, this Black Lion edition is one to embrace and more so, savor. It also features an eye-catching, movie-poster styled cover by Shannon Hall, elegant lettering by Warren Montgomery and vibrant coloring by Arrick Church, thus mounting its collectible status all the further.
