AZZA THE BARBED #1 (OF 5) CVR A RIO BURTON

WRITER PAT SHAND (Destiny NY, Snap Flash Hustle) AND ARTIST RIO BURTON
(Branches Entwined & Broken) LAUNCH A NEW FANTASY EPIC!
Azza was born into a family that, for generations, served in the Obsidian Guard, a military unit
of holy warriors. During Azza’s Coronation, a magical ceremony that would imbue her with a
holy glowing power, something went wrong. Instead of the sacred Obsidian tattoos, she became
marred with thorned, black markings. Thinking this a bad omen, Azza’s people banished her.
Now, Azza lives in solitude guarding a great evil... but when that evil escapes and begins to
spread its wicked power, Azza must make a choice: save the people that expelled her or allow
her home town to fall to evil.
With an emotional, comedic, and awe-inspiring story of empowerment, Azza the Barbed blends
fantasy, adventure, mythology, horror, and action in this unforgettable new series.
