About The Book

BY THE HORNS is an epic, sci-fi fantasy comic book series set in a dangerous world of magic and technology written by Markisan Naso, illustrated by Jason Muhr and colored by Andrei Tabacaru, published monthly by Scout Comics.

Elodie hates unicorns. For nearly a year, she's dedicated her life to killing them all for trampling her husband. Exiled from her village home for selfishly neglecting her duties, Elodie and her companion, Sajen, search the continent of Solothus to exact bloody revenge. But to make unicorns extinct she’ll need to fake an alliance with Zoso and Rigby, two of the very beasts she hates most, and battle four wind sorcerers who are extracting magic from all the mystical creatures on the continent. With the ability to rip off the unicorn horns and combine them to form wizard-slaying weapons, Elodie has a fighting chance. But will she decide to use those gifts to save magic in the world? Or destroy all the unicorns left alive?

Raves and Reviews

"You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not reading By The Horns."

– Alex K Cossa, Graphic Policy

"...the series is one of the best things to come out this year."

– Christopher Rondeau, Major Spoilers

"BY THE HORNS is one of the best books on the shelves and it has consistently been that way for 4 issues. It has not let up. It has not slowed down the action. It has not slowed up the drama. It has not let me down."

– Rockin' Robbie Billups, Pop Culture Philosophers

 

"Quite possibly one of the most original books I’ve ever read. Another action packed, emotionally charged, and wild issue.”

– Angel Young, Wanding Nerd Girl

"This book is utterly brilliant with this magnificent writing, characterisation and mindbogglingly brilliant interior artwork."

– Steven Leitman, Reading with a Flight Ring

“Whether we're talking about the layered implications of backstory and trauma in Naso's script or the emotive ferocity of Muhr's art or the way both script and art manage to blend a surprising degree of humor in with the darkness, this is a book with a firm and immediate grasp of its heart, and that makes all the difference. What starts with a clever idea becomes a gripping debut."

– Matthew Jackson, Syfy
