Hot off back-to-back breakout books The Dregs and Beautiful Canvas, three MVPs of Black Mask‘s 2017 roster are joining forces to kick off 2018. In January, Eric Zawadzki, Dee Cunniffe, and Ryan K Lindsay will release Eternal, a powerful blend of action, characterization, heart, and bloody swordfighting.

A group of isolated shieldmaidens protect their village against a tide of men who think they can take their land from them. Vif takes her band of women off viking to quell the advances of a loitering mystical scumbag, Bjarte. But some battles rage on inside us long after the field is empty, and some opponents won’t ever stay down. Eternal is a haunting story of how vulnerable you make yourself when trying to protect everything around you.

This oversized bande dessinee graphic novella is a love letter to brutal violence and eternal emotions. This self-contained story is aimed to be a boutique item for your shelves, and a gateway gift to others you know and love.

Eternal is out January 2018, will feature 64 pages, and retail for $7.99.
