Artist and writer Liam Sharp is returning to his fantastical realm of StarHenge to summon a new spellbinding tale, Ore: A Starhenge Graphic Novella. The news comes shortly after it was announced that Sharp earned an Eisner nomination for Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (Interior Art) for StarHenge: The Dragon and the Boar and for Nocterra: Nemesis Special, also published by Image Comics.

Following the events of StarHenge, in which a future Merlin travels to 5th-century Britain to prevent monstrous time-traveling robots from robbing the universe of magic, Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella charts the battle between the resurrected Ur-Queen and the horrifying AI of the CAST, in a galaxy-spanning conflict where ALL sentient life is threatened. A first look at a selection of pages from the graphic novella shows Sharp’s stunning illustrations and the genesis of Ore, revealing the plans of her many avatars: to save as much life as they could, and to make the CAST learn how to suffer. Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella will hit shelves this August from Image Comics.

Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella will be available for purchase at comic book shops on Wednesday, August 7 (cover by Liam Sharp; Lunar Code 0624IM253). It will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
