Terrible Means by B Mure
In the city of Ismyre, something is stirring... An aristocratic businessman reveals the latest must have: a pillar of crystals that allows for the creation of beautiful illusions and powerful spells to be performed. At the same time, Henriett, a disgraced biology professor, feels the disquiet in the air as specimens she has studied for years begin inexplicably dying out. On travelling to Ismyre, to warn the current Prime Minister and council of an imbalance within the world's ecosystem and magic, she encounters a young magician called Niklas who is there for a very different reason. Alongside a crew of ex-academics and inhabitants of smaller surrounding villages, Henriett and Niklas work together to uncover the strange imbalance being created in the world. In moving pencil and watercolor artwork, this graphic novel explores the motives and back story of Ismyre's mysterious eco-anarchist wizards and their terroristic, floral tendencies.
"The menagerie of expressive characters bursts with charm, but the real star here is the coloringAn ever-changing watercolor wash whirls across every panel, imbuing the world’s thorny emerald vines and brilliant blue crystals with vibrant magic. Full of heart, the story is a fairy tale call to arms.” - Publishers Weekly
