A Dangerous New Adversary Enters the Scene in Lost Fantasy #6

The bestselling, white-hot action/adventure series Lost Fantasy by fan-favorite writer Curt Pires and artist Luca Casalanguida will introduce an all-new adversary to the story in the upcoming Lost Fantasy #6. This exciting new entry will take readers to the darkest corners of The World Beneath, feature another bonus story co-written by singer/songwriter/comics writer Franklin Jonas, and hit shelves next month from Image Comics.

This key issue will also boast a variant cover by superstar artist Amilcar Pinna, which features a character making their first appearance in the issue and will be pivotal to Lost Fantasy and the spinoffs moving forward.

Still reeling from last issue’s shocker, Henry takes on his most personal investigation yet—one that pulls him deep into The World Beneath’s shadows and straight into the path of a dangerous new threat and a deadly new foe. Meanwhile, back at Blackheart Academy, Nihlas is just finding his footing when he stumbles upon a clue that could blow the murder case wide open.

In Lost Fantasy, there’s a magical world that lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But something broke through resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Safety now rests in the hands of rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart.

Lost Fantasy #6 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 31:
