Stoneheart, the creator-owned title written, drawn and lettered by Emma Kubert and published by Image Comics, will return for a new story arc later this year.
The series debuted last year and the first six issues were published monthly, but it’s been a year since we’ve seen a new issue. Which isn’t completely unexpected, as Kubert’s doing everything on the title in addition to her other freelance assignments.
“The new installment of Stoneheart dives deeper into the impending spiral of Shayde Whisper and the mysterious lore of Athea as we meet roguish pirates, confront cruel enemies, and battle leviathan-sized monsters,”said Kubert. “With every step of creation, it’s truly exciting to see the story unfold in such unexpected ways, intensifying the enigma that is Shayde Whisper and her magic. Make sure to catch up with Stoneheart Volume 1, and come along for the unraveling journey of a lifetime!”
Here’s how Image Comics describes the new arc:
Picking up right where readers left off, Stoneheart’s protagonist Shayde Whisper, alongside Eldon Redwood and Koko, set sail for the open sea. But brewing beneath the surface harrowing creatures rip their way into Shayde’s dreams…and eventually, her reality.
