Description
Famed warrior Azarias has gathered a small army of
varied adventurers on a quest to gather the dust of a distant island god in
order to save the life of their king. Along the way, they encounter numerous
beasts and monsters all in the process of gathering artifacts necessary to
locate the island god before ultimately defeating it. Throughout the course of
the adventure, the band disperses into small groups with individual objectives
in order to cover more ground in shorter order. These individual side-story
adventures reveal more about each of the many unique and intriguing characters
and their different interactions in different combinations. While the primary
story line is told by series codirector Josh Tierney and illustrated by Miguel
Valderrama, the individual short tales are told by a variety of their celebrated
comic-industry peers in different visual styles. This expertly curated anthology
approach builds to the ultimate encounter and resolution in the end, with each
of the warriors in the ensemble receiving their due attention. A very intricate
and original fantasy universe filled with a large cast of intriguing, complex,
and diverse warriors deserving stories of their own. The full roster of talent
contributing to this epic tale include Paul Maybury, Josh Tierney, Miguel
Valderrama, Carlos Valderrama, Devin Kraft, Anas Awad, Meg Gandy, Jared Morgan,
Irene Koh, Kyla Vanderklugt, Benjamin Marra, Alexis Ziritt, Travel Foreman,
Carlos Carrasco, Vlad Gusev, and Ramon Sierra.
