MILWAUKIE, Ore., — Dark Horse Comics presents the hit Dawnrunner comic series, now collected in one hardcover volume. An epic sci-fi adventure featuring brave humans piloting mighty mechs to defend earth from an invasion of giant monsters, this graphic novel includes issues #1-5 of the original Dawnrunner comic series, written by Ram V (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Detective Comics), with interior and new exclusive-to-this-edition cover art by Evan Cagle (The Witcher, Stranger Things), colors by Dave Stewart (B.P.R.D., Black Hammer), and letters by Aditya Bidikar (Blue Book, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos).
A story of heroes, impossible armors, ghosts and two people, centuries apart, connected by their need to protect the ones they love.
A century ago, a portal opened over Central America and giant monsters known as the Tetza came through, changing everything we knew. Now people put all of their efforts into building the Iron Kings—great mechs driven by pilots that battle the Tetza for humanity’s continued survival in gladiatorial combat. War has turned to sport. Star jockey, Anita Marr, has been chosen to pilot a secret new prototype that could change the tide in humanity’s favor.
But after a difficult first battle together, Anita begins to uncover and understand the unusual connection forming between herself and the experimental new Iron King, Dawnrunner. As the Tetza threat grows, Anita, Dawnrunner, and their secrets will become mankind’s last hope. Are we doomed or will dramatic revelations push Anita and Dawnrunner to transcend into something new?
