Solicit Copy: THE TELARA CHRONICLES, based on the highly anticipated MMORPG from Trion Worlds, is the story of a world being devastated by magical tears in the veil keeping it safe from the outer planes. These rifts come without warning, unleashing fantastic and terrifying invasions on a people already engaged in civil war. Telara’s champions have been forced to choose: join the Guardians and fight to restore the faith of a world that once was – or become a Defiant and embrace long-dead technologies to usher in a new age. From one of these competing factions comes Asha Catari, a plane-touched warrior with magical abilities. Follow Asha’s story and discover the war-ravaged world of Telara in this 4-issue miniseries prequel to the game.

Cover by Chris Sprouse and Karl Story for End of Nations issue 1.

The other comic series I’m working on, End of Nations, also based on a game from Trion Worlds, had a zero issue given away at SDCC as well.

The cover for this book was done by maestro artist Cully Hamner, who I previously had the pleasure of working with on the Warren Ellis penned episode of Re\Visioned: Tomb Raider.

Included below for your viewing pleasure.

One of my favorite cover artists, Dustin Nguyen, handled the cover duties for Telara Chronicles #0 that we gave away at SDCC. I’ve always really like the subtlety of water color painting (not that I can do it) so Dustin’s stuff really appeals to me.

The cover for Issue 0 shows Defiant leader Asha Catari doing battle with a treant that has come out of a Life Rift.

Trion has released the cover images for Telara Chronicles #1 and #2, both by Drew Johnson.

The first cover depicts Asha Catari against the backdrop of a Death Rift, surrounded by a bunch of nasties. Really gorgeous image!

Telara Chronicles #1

Up next is the cover for Telara Chronicles #2. Also by Drew Johnson. This time, Asha Catari is in a limbo-like area known as the Shadowlands. I think Drew made a really compelling cover with this one!
