A visually beautiful myth, which draws on themes of Native art from the Pacific Northwest, Scandinavia and possibly also Maya or Inca hieroglyphs. A small boy, adopted into a tribe of people who live in a harsh snowy land, struggles to fit in. He makes regular mistakes which are serious enough to disqualify him from participating in a right of passage. He decides to run away into the forest where he finds a powerful weapon and a powerful enemy. This comic is still being run (very slowly) online as a webcomic. I haven't been able to find out much about the author, but I wondered about the decision to draw the protagonist as a blond white boy in a setting so obviously influences by Native people. Maybe the second volume will explain more about where he came from!
