More Than Mortal

    (Liar, 1997-2000)
™ and ©1997 Liar Comics

Deirdre, a lowly maid in an Irish church, has strange dreams: she is Brigid the Protector, a wielder of magic and weapons who protects medieval Ireland from demonic invaders. The only one who gives her dreams any credence is Father Colm, a kind priest, who encourages her to explore her dreams and discover their origins. Strangely, he vanishes and is presumed dead by Deirdre, but his advice is enough to send her on a journey to find out what her dreams of the Protector mean.

Writer Sharon Scott and artist Steve Firchow establish a fairly solid foundation in the first issue of More Than Mortal, which—apparently—Deirdre is. Questions surround their young Irish heroine, and the reader is compelled to seek the answers along with her. Firchow’s art—while a bit on the cheesecake-side—moves the story along at a nice pace, but it is his work as a colorist that is particularly striking here.
