Dynamite’s Pathfinder comics get collected in an Omnibus collecting three story arcs
Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new extra-sized epic tome compiling several sizzling sagas of Paizo‘s Pathfinder characters and mythos for an omnibus volume perfect for fans to binge read! Across a whopping 560 pages, this capacious compendium packs together three core story arcs from the nearly 15 fabulous years of comics featuring the hit tabletop roleplaying experience from Dynamite.
Pathfinder comic book adventures all started In Dark Water Rising, driven by fan-favorite writer Jim Zub known for his fantasy fables and RPG inspired epics like Conan the Barbarian, Skullkickers, Wayward, and a deep bibliography with Marvel Comics. The warrior Valeros can rely on his sword arm and his friends, including the mysterious sorceress Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, the powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and the courageous cleric Kyra. Though nothing can prepare this band of adventurers for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered goblin tribes of Varisia are unifying in ways no one has ever seen before.
Then in its follow up Tooth and Claw, Valeros and his companions are tasked with tracking down a mysterious beast scaring the locals of Sandpoint. They find more than they bargained for, as a simple monster hunt unfolds into a twisted tale of danger and betrayal when the Cult of Lamashtu seeks to exact its revenge on our iconic heroes! Zub is complemented in these two story arcs and their extras by artists including Andrew Huerta.
The initial flagship series is all collected here, but it’s topped off with the anthology series Goblins which turns the spotlight to the iconic pint-sized psychopaths, as they wreak havoc across the land. Infamous for their unpredictable attacks, catchy raiding songs, hatred of dogs, and fear of horses, the iconic goblins of Pathfinder blend mischief and murderous mayhem like no other monsters. A range of creators contribute including Charles Soule, Ron Marz, Adam Warren, Erik Mona, F. Wesley Schneider, James L. Sutter, Crystal Frasier, Ray Fawkes, Carlos Gomez, Sean Izaakse, Craig Rousseau, Jeremy Holt, Eric Trautmann, Paul Allor, and more.
The Pathfinder Omnibus includes Pathfinder (2012) #1-12, the 2014 special, Pathfinder: Goblins #1-5, and a range of bonus materials including a short story and lots of RPG materials that fans can bring directly to the game night.
Mary Jane Watson and Knull Suit Up for Queen in Black!
This summer, Hela conquers the Marvel Universe in Queen in Black, an all-new crossover event spinning out of the current run of Venom by Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez and the newly launched Knull limited series by Ewing, Tom Waltz, and Juanan Ramírez. Ahead of Queen in Black’s official announcement, fans can check out upcoming covers for both Venom and Knull that reveal key developments for the event, including all-new costumes for Mary Jane Watson, cementing her bond with the Venom symbiote, and Knull, befitting the God of the Abyss’ all-new power source—LIGHT.
Spinning out of Peter, MJ, and Venom’s confrontation in May’s Venom #258, Mary Jane’s new costume debuts in Venom #259 this June. In the aftermath of Death Spiral, Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker have a long overdue heart-to-heart…but when the masks go on, Venom and Spider-Man have some unfinished business! Now that her secret is out, MJ fully embraces her symbiote strength, leading to a BIG change for Venom and MJ’s bond!
LET THERE BE LIGHT! In Knull #5, the final issue of the series, Knull has conquered the Lightforce Dimension and left his dastardly eternal mark in SUPERNOVA fashion! But wait! An enemy he thought he’d eliminated with extreme prejudice is back for more…and he comes upgraded for battle this time! Meanwhile, the newly crowned Queen in Black, Hela of Asgard, is beginning to question her strategy against Knull – is it time to activate Plan B? This is it! The bombastic grand finale! Who will fall? Who will rise? Who will CLAIM THE LIGHT?!
Check out Ryan Stegman’s Knull #5 cover along with his original design sheet for Knull’s new armor and Carlos Gómez’s Venom #258-259 covers along with R.B. Silva’s design sheet for Mary Jane’s new symbiote suit. Preorder both series at your local comic shop and stay tuned for the official announcement of Queen in Black in the days ahead.
