Bestselling action/adventure series Lost Fantasy by fan-favorite writer Curt Pires and artist Luca Casalanguida will kick off a new story arc—as well as introduce an exciting new character, and tease a forthcoming spin-off series co-written by singer/songwriter and debut comics writer Franklin Jonas—all in the upcoming issue #5 hitting shelves this November from Image Comics. Lost Fantasy #5 will feature interiors by guest artist Maxi Dall’o.
Following Lost Fantasy #4’s conclusion to Henry’s brutal Montana case, Lost Fantasy #5 sees Henry immediately thrust into solving the murder of one of his closest family members.
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.
