A sci-fi reimagining of the greatest revenge story of all time: The Count of Monte Cristo.
Framed for treason and wrongfully imprisoned at the hands of a jealous and corrupt magistrate, Redxan Samud escapes his breathtaking hover-prison with only one thing on his mind: revenge.
Disguised as a Man of Status and with a newfound fortune and his Automaton Retainer Unit (Aru) by his side, Samud sets out to dismantle the lives of those who have wronged him. But when innocent lives begin to get caught in the middle of his quest for vengeance, Samud will have to decide between using his new fortune for the good of the people or to pursue the revenge he so desperately desires.
"[A]n ambitious, sweeping re-imagining of the entire saga that reframes the classic revenge tale in a sci-fi universe complete with airships, robots, elemental swords, and all the stunning visual detail that goes with it. The result is a must-read vision of a timeless tale....From the character designs to the worldbuilding to sword fights that unfold with breathtaking grace across elegantly structured panels, it's a masterpiece of visual storytelling, layered with meaning and power on each page. Count is an ambitious idea transformed into a masterpiece, and reaffirms Moustafa's place as one of the finest artists working in comics right now.” * SYFY WIRE *
“Brilliant… A faithful retelling of the story with a new skin to all the characters and settings…the magic is in what Moustafa and team add to it . . . .I LOVED IT.” * SMASH PAGES *
