Sword Interval
by Benjamin Fleuter
The Sword Interval is about a world on the verge of a supernatural apocalypse. Most of humanity goes about their daily lives trying to ignore the constant threat of magic and monsters, but a few face these dangers head-on. Fall is one such person. She has left behind the sheltered safety of the paranormal witness protection program in order to hunt down the monster that killed her family.

VibeCheckAug 17, 2026Hell. YES. The Sword Interval goes so hard. It started out pretty solid with a premise that reminded me a lot of HellWay, so that was quick to reel me in. Fall was a fun lead who's tough but not afraid to be corny from time to time, and she's a source of many cool action scenes. Many characters are pretty memorable in fact. The Visage was an awesome and creepy one-off villain, Alex is exceptionally well-written in spite of how little she actually talks, Reggie is the goodest boy, and Mah Yun and Marco are just straight up aura farmers. I enjoyed all the ways the series integrates supernatural elements from ghosts to the fey. The primary supernatural focuses of each story arc make them feel distinct and keeps the plot fresh and engaging. The longer the series went the more I fell in love with it as it pushed boundaries in action, story, and art. While the twist surrounding Fall's origins and purpose was predictable, it still made me really invested in her character and some of the lore reveals are insane. The action scenes become even more creative the further on it goes as Fall and Marco's powers develop. There's some crazy shit in this series: weaponizing a helicopter blade, gigantic swords launched into space in order to fall back and skewer celestial beings, really creative uses of hair manipulation, the list goes on. Some panels really evoke K6BD levels of high detail too. In terms of critiques, while the ending was pretty dang cool, I feel like some of the big reveals in the penultimate arc could've been delivered more comprehensibly. With how story-driven this series is, a lot of the author announcements really broke up the pacing at points. Idk if that's the case for the ongoing page republish version has that issue, but I hope they're kept separate. Either way, super gnarly series I highly recommend.
