Welcome to the reboot of our regular 100 Word Hits column, in association with comics retailer The Unreality Store, in which Matthew De Monti brings us short, sharp reviews of the RETRO comic books in one hundred words.

In this episode, Matt discusses Seven Swords #1 from writer Evan Daugherty (writer of films such as Snow White and the Huntsman, Divergent and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and illustrator Riccardo Mattina.
A weary and jaded D’Artagnan is drawn into a final conflict with the wicked Cardinal Richelieu, whose ruthless quest for power has led him to the supernatural. But the Last Musketeer can’t defeat these infernal enemies alone. To save the world, he’ll need to join forces with seven iconic swashbuckling heroes: Don Juan, Captain Blood, Cyrano de Bergerac, to name a few. SEVEN SWORDS, who must overcome their host of differences and work together if they have any hope of thwarting Richelieu’s diabolical plans.
