AGE OF CONAN: VALERIA #1
Marvel Comics has set an August launch for Age of Conan: Valeria, a five-issue series from writer Meredith Finch and artist Aneke.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"Witness a young and formidable Valeria, in a time before the fan-favorite 'Red Nails' Conan story, as she treads the kingdoms of the Hyborian Age in search of revenge."
"Robert E. Howard and the Conan universe have always been ahead of their time in terms of creating strong, empowered female characters, and Valeria is certainly no exception," Finch said. "It was my privilege to craft the origin story of such a formidable woman, even by today's standards. When combined with the fantastical storytelling of Aneke, this is sure to be a book Conan fans new and old won't be able to put down."
"Meredithfs crafted a gripping tale, brought to life on the page under the wonderful pen of Aneke, thatfs going to pull you deep into a Hyborian age mystery as Valeria confronts her past to forge her path to the future," said editor Mark Basso. "It's going to be like nothing you've seen yet from Marvel's Conan comics."
IDW'S DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: INFERNAL TIDES
IDW Publishing has announced a November launch for Dungeons & Dragons: Infernal Tides, a five-issue mini-series reuniting the Dungeons & Dragons: Legends of Baldur;s Gate creative team of writer Jim Zub and artist Max Dunbar.
Here's how IDW describes the book, which delves into the mythology established in the D&D adventure Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus arriving on Sept. 17.
"Fan-favorite Minsc and his friends are caught in the middle of devil-tainted corruption that has taken hold of Baldur's Gate. Unravelling the secret of its source will take the heroes to unexpected places and threaten the sanctity of their very souls. Even if they survive this perilous journey, there will be Hell to pay!"
"Dungeons & Dragons: Infernal Tides is a wild ride through some of my favorite parts of D&D lore," Zub said. "Getting the chance to help develop the story and setting for a brand new D&D sourcebook directly with the D&D team, having Max Dunbar contribute key concept art to that adventure, and then getting both of us back at IDW to create a brand new comic story that propels Minsc and the rest of the Baldur's Gate heroes into the same kind of devilish danger is an absolute dream come true. This comic is going to be pure D&D-fueled adrenalin. I can't wait for readers to see how it all rolls out.
"I'm so connected to these characters, that Ifm shaving my head and donning the purple makeup and leather armor to play as Minsc at D&D Live 2019: The Descent. Watch me roll some dice with Chris Perkins as DM and Matthew Mercer playing Boo in the final part of The Descent at dungeonsanddragons.com on May 18 at 8pm PT."
"I am so thrilled to be able to return to D&D comics with Jim Zub in Dungeons & Dragons: Infernal Tides," Dunbar said. "This story plunges our Heroes of Baldur's Gate into an adventure of a scope and scale we haven't seen yet in these comics. We'll dive into the heart of locations and events that are absolutely legendary to D&D. I feel incredibly lucky to be working with Jim Zub, incredible colorist Sebastian Cheng, IDW, and Wizards of the Coast on this vast and diabolical story!"
