Zenescope Entertainment Gives Fans What They Wanted

Robin Hood doesn't always rob from the rich and give to the poor. When the character is a she and she spells her name with a "y," then that Robyn Hood has more of a thing for freeing repressed kingdoms. She's not content to stop there though and Zenescope is more than happy to continue exploring her story in Robyn Hood: Wanted this May, written by Pat Shand.

Robyn Hood: Wanted picks up shortly after the first series ended. Robyn has found her way out of the realm of Myst and back into the modern world. Her unwavering pursuit of justice has taught her enemies not to cross her, and has shown her friends a new level of loyalty.

"I’m thrilled to return to this character," said Shand. "With “Wanted,” we are upping the stakes, introducing some new major threats, and really getting into what makes Robyn tick. I remember describing the series as “Veronica Mars” meets “Game of Thrones,” and I think that is truer in this sequel than ever before. Everything is on the line this time around. We’re going to see Robyn in a whole new situation which will redefine her in ways that readers will have never imagined."

The original series is available in TPB form today. Full press release below.
