Black by Stefano Labbia

In a far-off galaxy known as Behal, ravaged by way of a millennial war between carnivores and herbivores, lives the mercenary Black, a humanoid black rabbit almost meters tall who loves meat and gold. With hard manners and seemingly no morals, Black often clashes with the herbivore defense force and a group of space pirates called the Perpetual Stars. Formidable in hand-to-hand combat and with any kind of weapon, the lone black rabbit is followed by Raibin, a beautiful woman with white hair and a terrible temper, and Josh, a humanoid fox with a horrible sense of humor.

This is the basis of "Black," a graphic novel series created by Stefano Labbia, known for his works including "Atomic," "Shona," "Dragon Way," "Killer Loop's,", "The Troublemaker", "Kanvas,", "Super Santa", "Kremisi" and "Super Madness." "Black" is a story that blends science fiction, action, and humor, creating a unique and progressive narrative that captivates readers from the first page.

The character of Black is the heart of the story. A mercenary with a dark past, Black is not your typical hero. He is rude and selfish, but at the same time, he has a certain charm that makes him endearing to readers. Black's love for meat and gold is one of his defining characteristics, and it is the source of many funny moments in the story.

However, Black's true strength lies in his fighting abilities. He is a master of hand-to-hand combat, and his proficiency with weapons is unmatched. Black is a character that readers will love to hate, but they cannot help but root for him at the same time.

Raibin and Josh, Black's companions, are also important characters in the story. Raibin is a strong and independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. She is often at odds with Black, but deep down, she cares for him. Josh, on the other hand, is the comic relief of the story. He is always cracking jokes, even in the most dire situations, which often annoys Black and Raibin. However, Josh is also a skilled fighter, and he has saved the group on multiple occasions.

The world of Behal is another aspect of the story that deserves recognition. Labbia has created a vast and complex universe, full of different races, cultures, and technology. The battle between carnivores and herbivores is the backdrop of the story, but it is not the only conflict in Behal. There are rival factions, smugglers, and other dangerous obstacles that Black and his team must face on their adventures. This vast and richly-detailed world-building provides an immersive experience for readers, making them feel like they're part of the story.

Overall, "Black" is a must-read for fans of graphic novels and sci-fi adventure stories. Labbia's bold and unique narrative style, combined with the fast-paced storyline and engaging characters, make it a thrill ride from start to finish. Whether you are a fan of tough antiheroes, outrageous sci-fi worlds, or just a good old-fashioned action-packed story, "Black" has something for everyone. With its unique blend of humor, action, and suspense, "Black" is a graphic novel series that is sure to leave readers wanting more.
