Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Liliana #1 (Dark Horse)
Liliana Vess is the most powerful necromancer in the multiverse, but her power came at a cost.

But now, Liliana seeks to regain her freedom and destroy the pact she wears etched into her skin.

Liliana’s journey has brought her to Innistrad, the rumored location of Griselbrand, and a plane rife with corruption, chaos, and suffering. Determined to hunt the demon down and reclaim the piece of her soul he took, her task will not be an easy one – for Liliana Vess is not the only seeker of vengeance upon the plane of Innistrad.

Only one senior student will be given the title of “Prima Apparata” along with the life-or-death lead role of Appolyta in a final battle performance to appease the Patrons. With their natural talents and motivations increasingly at odds in the studio, Mar and Rhea pursue two very different – but equally creative and reckless – acts of rebellion to claim control of their fates.

A new realm is accessed, an advantage unlocked, and we get one step closer to Appolyta herself as Olivia Dufault and Rebekah Isaacs’ celestial ballet mech saga continues!

Tales of Asunda: Niobe – She Tribe #1 (Stranger Comics)
Are all traditions good, to be followed as law, binding in mind, body, and spirit? And if you disagree, who are you to change them? Niobe confronts a cultural practice that divides her own people in an attempt to bring them together as a nation.
