Amala's Blade Equipping Dark Horse

Dark Horse is building an army of intellectual properties and every army needs weapons. Amala's Blade is a pretty powerful weapon to have in your arsenal and it will make a Dark Horse debut in Dark Horse Presents #9 - Amala's Blade, written by Steve Horton.

"Amala’s Blade is the steam punk-with-swords epic that I've been dying to tell," says Steve Horton, writer and letterer. "Thanks to the extraordinary and talented artist Michael Dialynas, we've brought Amala to life. Thanks to Dark Horse Comics, we've found an amazing and supportive publisher for our three-issue run in Dark Horse Presents. This story has heart, sword fighting, sarcasm, revenge, pirates, technologically modified villains, a girl steam punk heroine, and a robotic pirate monkey. What more do you need?" says Horton.

Amala was chosen as a child to be the spiritual leader for her country in unifying the Purifiers and Modifiers. She fled into the night, reappearing twenty years later as an assassin. Aboard a massive pirate ship, Amala stalks the fearsome pirate captain Cha'Kooh, but the voices in her head, manifesting as ghosts, keep getting in the way.

Dark Horse Presents #9 will hit stores February 22. Amala's Blade will be in that issue, as well as issues #10 and #11. Full press release after the jump.
