Birthright #6 Embarks on a New Arc

Bestselling writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrei Bressan, and colorist Adriano Lucas will launch the second story arc of the hit Skybound series Birthright on April 8. This new chapter in the ever-evolving fantasy epic will feature a cover by James Harren.

In Birthright #6, Mikey’s return has divided the Rhodes family in unexpected ways. Where do they go from here?

Previously in Birthright, readers meet the Rhodes Family—parents still coping with the grief of a missing child—after their young son Mikey disappeared one year ago. Just as the tragedy tears the family asunder and the possibility of his return looks bleak, Mikey reappears, but nothing could have prepared them for who he is now.

Snatched from his life by beings from another world, Mikey became a hero whose destiny was to save the land of Terrenos. A grown man hardened by battles with dragons, trolls, and evil mages, Mikey is back to save Earth from the same peril that threatened Terrenos in Birthright.

Inferno #1 Sets the Warzone on Fire this May!

This May, the Warzone! is on fire as the red-hot world of the seminal X-Men story returns in the pages of Inferno #1 – a brand-new Secret Wars series that’s too hot to handle from writer Dennis Hopeless and artist Javier Garron!

Welcome to the ruins of Manhattan, now ablaze with fire and brimstone. Five years ago, a band of demons rose out of the fiery depths and turned Manhattan in to Hell on Earth. The X-Men were all that stood in the way of complete and utter obliteration. The X-Men fought for survival…and the X-Men failed.

Now, on this the fifth anniversary of the fall of Manhattan, Colossus is leading a small band of surviving mutants back into the Inferno. None of them know what resides on the other side of those flames but he knows one thing…he’s not coming back without his sister!

In an interview with Marvel.com, Hopeless said:

He lost his sister to the Inferno five years ago and is absolutely obsessed with getting her back. Unfortunately, nobody is allowed in or out of the Island. Piotr has been carrying this heavy burden around for years, always waiting for his next opportunity to right the wrong. He’s definitely not somebody you’d want to mess with.

Amidst the flames lie demons, ghouls and the Goblin Queen herself. Colossus and his team of Nightcrawler, Boom Boom and Domino will face them all in an effort to save Illyana. But can she be saved? Or has she already been lost? The answers lie in the flames True Believer as Inferno #1 burns bright during Secret Wars this May!

Another all-original tale of the Dresden Files! Months after the events depicted in Jim Butcher’s New York Times bestselling White Night, the War between the Red Court and White Council rages on. But vampires are far from the only supernatural threat Chicago’s only wizard for hire must stand against. Someone has unleashed an entity unlike any Harry has yet encountered — and it has begun targeting the innocent, seemingly indiscriminately. Along with his apprentice, Molly Carpenter, Harry must uncover the truth behind this new predator… no matter how far into darkness he must descend.

George Herriman (w & a & c)

The New York Journal of Books says that the first volume of LOAC Essentials (Baron Bean 1916) “sets the standard for archival and reprint quality.” The Washington Times writes that it’s “beautiful.
