The Forgotten Queen Vol 1 1

But, great Khan, she turned our men against one another with her magic! It was senseless! Brutal! She but spoke to them, and they fought to the meat, great Khan, splitting their knuckles open on each other's bloody faces--

Solicitation[]

An ancient evil returns!

Long ago, the mighty generals of the Mongol Empire rode from Siberia to Carpathia and conquered all who stood in their way. Legends tell of a witch who walked with them, who could infect the hearts of any warriors in her midst with an unquenchable thirst for battle and bloodshed…a War-Monger. And now she is walking again.

This winter, an ancient evil will stir as superstar-in-the-making Tini Howard (Captain America Annual #1, Assassinistas) and powerhouse artist Amilcar Pinna (Generation X) unleash hell in a brand-new saga of honor, love, and savagery that’s centuries in the making!

Quotes[]

You fools, how dare you wake me for a madwoman?

-- Temüjin aka Genghis Khan

But, great Khan, she turned our men against one another with her magic! It was senseless! Brutal! She but spoke to them, and they fought to the meat, great Khan, splitting their knuckles open on each other's bloody faces--

Forgive me, ma'am, I'm just the captain, not a scientist like y'all, but isn't looking for stuff that came from the desert in the ocean awfully dumb?

-- Captain Cameron

Of all the chaos the War-Monger had sown, all the blood she'd roused with hate... there was no match for the chaos she felt when she fell in love.
