The Millennium Saga

Most have heard of the intriguing, ever expanding Millennium saga, whether by reading Stieg Larsson’s bestselling trilogy, its extensive screen adaptations (P.S. I highly recommend the original Swedish movie adaptations starring Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander – a top notch trilogy), the David Lagercrantz sequels, or our wonderful comic collections adapted from the books. Regardless, all versions follow journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the incredibly kickass Lisbeth Salander – a private investigator/computer genius/criminal mind/punk rocker/freedom fighting, modern age warrior woman. She fights crime and her past abusers in this dark, thrilling Hard Case Crime saga.

Facing prison time for libel, discredited journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired by a reclusive industrialist, from an influential Swedish family, to investigate an unsolved family disappearance. In return, Henrik Vanger offers Blomkvist evidence to clear his libel charges. Aided by the mysterious computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, the two soon discover a brutal trail of murder, deception and dark secrets.

“Sylvain Runberg and artist Homs have given us a near perfect adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Hard hitting, gritty and beautifully illustrated, it is, without a doubt, the closest adaptation of the books you will find.” – Flickering Myth

As Blomkvist plunges into an investigation to prove her innocence, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey.

“Those not familiar with the original source material will find it a compelling, edge-of-your-seat mystery in words and art, and fans of the original Stieg Larsson books will uncover new meaning his words and worlds.” – Multiversity Comics

Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge–against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

“This book is about empowerment and redemption. It is also worthy of the Hard Case Crime logo. The messages of the story come across loud and clear.” – Comic Bastards
