Templars of Steel, arise! HammerFall and Incendium are teaming up for the launch of an epic high-fantasy adventure comic series that explores the legacy of Hector, the iconic mascot depicted across decades of album sleeves from the legendary Swedish heavy metal band.

Incendium has also announced the first in a line of collectible HammerFall action figures inspired by the bands’ cover artwork and lyrical lore; ‘Hector’ will be available for the first time as a fully articulated 5” action figure with accessories.

Published under Incendium’s music-focused OPUS imprint, HammerFall is crafted by industry veterans: writer Ian Edginton and artist Kevin West , with lettering by Jacob Bascle, and features cover artwork by Ryan Christensen.

In HammerFall #1, a vile blight spreads across the land. When a lone warrior rides deep into the forest to face the savagery and madness head on, his quest for Justice leads him to a figure from his past, the herald to a dark master who cannot be undone by mastery of arms alone.

The first print edition of HammerFall #1 will be released as a prestige-format limited edition collectible comic book, featuring cardstock covers, specialty foil treatments, glossy pages, and individual numbering.

The first printing of the comic will be limited to 1666 copies at $19.99, and is available to order. It is available to order now and ships in March 2022. The Hector action figure is also available to pre-order for $32.95, shipping summer 2022.
