The '''''Black Moon Chronicles''''' is an epic [[Dark Fantasy]] [[Comic Books|comic series]] by French author [[Francois Marcela Froideval]] and illustrated by Olivier Ledroit, who is better known by English speakers for his work on [[Pat Mills]]' ''[[Sha]]'' and ''[[Requiem Chevalier Vampire]]'' . (Original French title: '''''Chroniques de la Lune Noire'''''.)
 
It deals with the [[Villain Protagonist]] / [[Anti -Hero]] Wismerhill, a [[Half -Human Hybrid|half-elf]] [[Parental Abandonment|from an unknown father]] allying with [[Evil Sorcerer]] Haazheel Thorn in order to overthrow the Christian-esque empire of Lhynn.
 
Sounds simple enough, no?
Line 37:
* [[The Antichrist]]: Hints are dropped early in the series that Wismerhill's [[Disappeared Dad]] might be [[The Devil]] himself. {{spoiler|It's a [[Red Herring]]; Lucifer's son is actually Haazheel Thorn.}}
** Wis' dad is actually {{spoiler|Pazuzu, a demon prince disguised as an elf}}.
* [[Anti -Hero]] / [[Anti -Villain]]: Wismerhill, and by extension pretty much every member of his [[True Companions]] (even the [[Horny Devils|succubus]]), dance constantly back and forth over the line between both. While some like Shamballeau the mage or Murata the samurai aren't as morally questionnable in their own actions, the fact that they have no problem hanging around the others speaks for itself.
* [[Badass]]: Almost any named character who survives more than one or two scenes counts. The biggest one though is Greldinard, Baron of Moork; everytime he appears he does something awesome, even if that something is sitting in a chair.
* [[Big Bad]]: Haazheel Thorn, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|the Master of the Black Moon]], über-powerful [[Evil Sorcerer]] capable of commanding vast hordes of [[The Undead]] and [[The Legions of Hell]], [[Physical God|demigod]] and spiritual leader of a powerful [[Religion of Evil]], lord of a massive [[Badass Army]] of humans and monsters, {{spoiler|Son of Lucifer...}}
Line 58:
* [[The Faceless]]: Greldinard never removes his helmet (or his armor) on-panel once through the whole series.
** The closest we get is showing his hands going up, then going back down with the helmet, while contemplating swearing loyalty to {{spoiler|Wis or Haazeel}}
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Wismerhill
** [[The Big Guy]]: Ghorghor
