Book Club: Trojan

Review Overview

This month for the Galactic Comics and Collectibles Book Club we read Trojan from New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus and artist Laci published by AWA Studios.

Once upon a time, we lived alongside Legends. Creatures of myth. Centaurs, fauns, gorgons, kelpies, gnomes, and more. They were spectacular. Majestic. Powerful. Peaceful. Pure. In comparison, we were ugly. Weak. Warmongering. Rotten. Is it any wonder we could not live alongside them any longer?

After driving these Legends to the fringes of society, an uglier form of mythos takes shape in the form of rumors of live snuff shows for dark web high rollers. When a mysterious young woman, Nessa, enlists the help of a hacker to take a tour of the grisliest corners of the Dark Web, she sets in motion a war between those who peddle to mankind’s darkest fantasies and a world that transcends imagination.

Daniel has an outstanding ability to author a great horror novel, his foray into comics was kicked-off with The Autumnal, an outstanding eight-issue miniseries from Vault Comics, and continued with Trojan.

The overall consensus from the Galactic Comic Book Club was that Trojan is a great concept and wonderfully illustrated. The group was glad to have read the trade paperback, but wish the four-issue miniseries was longer and more flushed out.

The artwork was key in this series, Laci killed the illustrations and really gave us something to experience. While another issue or two really would’ve made the series much better, the book was worth the read and recommended to anyone who is interested in fantasy horror comics.

Daniel Kraus joined the Capes and Tights Podcast on Episode 76 to discuss Trojan and returned on Episode 119 to discuss his best-selling novel, Whalefall.
