TKO Studios Announces Two New Graphic Novels Coming In March

TKO Studios has announced that two new graphic novels, Black Mass Rising and The Forgotten Blade, will be released to the comic world in print and digitally March 15 with a general release May 1. Black Mass Rising is written by Theo Prasidis and artist Jodie Muir and tells the story of Transylvania after Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula.

Set one year after the death of Dracula, hope is returning to the lands of Transylvania, and a young peasant girl named Aurelia dares to dream of a better future, free from the yoke of the devil's hundred years of darkness. But when a mysterious Healer drifts into town, seeking to cure land and people alike, a terrifying new evil stirs across the blasted lands and it seems that the lord of the undead is not through yet...or could it be an even greater evil? Dive into this titanic and darkly fantastical reimagining / sequel of Bram Stoker's sanguine classic.

The Forgotten Blade is written by Tze Chun and artist Toni Fejzula and is an original fantasy story.

In the land of the Five Rivers, the magical waters that flow from the Citadel grant incredible powers to the people who know to use them. Power that the Church of the Citadel guards jealously and with an iron fist. Years after Ruza the Unwashed, the world's greatest warrior and wielder of the mystical Forgotten Blade, destroyed the last chance for the people to overthrow the Church's cruel tyranny, he is recruited by a schoolteacher to save the souls of her two children cursed by inquisitors for no crime at all. To do that, they must do what no one has ever done -- infiltrate the Citadel, discover the source of the Five Rivers, and vanquish the most powerful adversary of all: the malevolent god who created this world in the first place.

Both sound like interesting graphic novels to add to your collection.
