BOOM! STUDIOS PUBLISHES ELRIC
BOOM! Studios has announced Elric: The Balance Lost, a series that begins in July, as well as a prequel for Free Comic Book Day.
"Elric is in inspired hands. I'm enthusiastically looking forward to his appearance from BOOM! Studios," said Elric creator Michael Moorcock. "One of the best writers of his generation, Chris Roberson, will be writing a brilliantly conceived, entirely new Elric story in the grand manner! I can't wait!"
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"Elric: The Balance Lost features the return of Michael Moorcock's legendary Multiverse, featuring some of the greatest fantasy characters of all time: Elric of Melnibone, Corum of the Scarlet Robe, and Dorian Hawkmoon in a brand-new story that will test the courage of the Eternal Champion! In this new series, the workings of Fate are being tampered with across the Multiverse, upsetting the Cosmic Balance. Elric of Melnibone must preserve the Balance and save the entire Multiverse from ruin. But no sooner has his journey begun than he is waylaid by dark forces and lost on the Moonbeam Roads. Elric finds himself stranded on a world where Chaos holds sway and where change is the only constant. Heroes are forced into action far and wide, but will they fight on the side of Law or Chaos?"
An artist was not named. Erik Jones provides cover art for the FCBD issue.
