The Blackblood Alliance Issue 1 Cover.

The Blackblood Alliance is a comic by KayFedewa and ESDA06. It follows the story of the Blackblood Dire wolves, a race of specially-bred warrior wolves exiled from Inaria, their ancestral home, by their dire wolf brethren. The decision is soon regretted when sabretoothed cats, the dire wolves' ancient enemies, threaten to wipe out the peaceful wolf pack. Desperate for assistance, the very Alpha who banished them sends scouts to call back the Blackbloods. However after such a bitter departure, it's uncertain whether the legendary wolves would forgive their former packmates and come back for assistance. Swiftkill, the former Captain of the Blackbloods, gives the scouts the full story of their exile, revealing that the true treachery and betrayal (which caused their exile) was all due to the Alphas' envious daughter. The scouts' pleas for aid are met with rejection by Swiftkill, although hope for retribution encourages other Blackbloods to consider helping Inaria. The story thus far follows this struggle.

Kay Fedewa is the creator, writer, illustrator, and colorist of the work, but she brought E. Siegel (ESDA06) on board with the project as work for hire. Siegel handles all the background work as well as assisting with composition and dialogue editing.

The Blackblood Alliance Issue #1 was published and put on sale on the official website in November 2007. Signed copies and Swiftkill action figures were sold at Midwest Furfest 2007. Issue #2 began to be posted online in January 2008.

CHARACTERS

Swiftkill: She is a loyal, hardworking Blackblood Dire who accidentally murdered Whitewind's pups when she is challenged by Rapier, Whitewind's oldest daughter and is currently the Alphess of Alteron; alongside her tacticial mate, Scimitar. Swiftkill is the daughter of Banehollow, who was exiled from Inaria, possibly long before the rest of the Blackbloods were extracted from Inaria's domain. She is also a very kind, and gentle figure, but yet, can be as vicious as a Tazmainian Devil, if provoked.
