Just ordered "Brotherhood of the Wolf: Blood Tax" from image It's a graphic novel series written by Wes al-Daher that I've been meaning to check out for a while now. The art looks amazing! I really liked the vision he lays out on his website, it's worth reading. You can also check out his essay in issue 3 of Qawwam Magazine where he talks about how Muslims should seek excellence in their leisure:

JazakAllahu khayran, @Muslim Bitcoiner I appreciate you sharing this. Each issue of Brotherhood of the Wolf: Blood Tax runs 32–34 full-color story pages with dialogue, lettering, and sound effects. It’s set in the 15th-century Ottoman Balkans. Think what if the spirit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles grew up inside the world of The Witcher. Always glad to see readers engaging with the vision behind it. Folks can check it out here: talesofkhayr.com/blood-tax

Good question. Brotherhood of the Wolf is dark fantasy so yes, there’s blood and fear, and the themes are serious. The tone itself is pulpy and action-adventure and not grim for its own sake. If your kids already play mainstream games, for example, they’ve likely seen more intense material, tbh. But if you’re strict about what kind of violence or scary moments they see, read it first and decide for yourself. One scholar who reviewed it told me: “Your audience will inevitably become younger since your gore is more kosher than others.” I think that sums it up pretty well.
