MILWAUKIE, Ore., (November 12, 2018)—In July, Dark Horse Books and BioWare announced they had formed an Anthem publishing program, beginning with The Art of Anthem, due to arrive February 26, 2019. Now, Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to offer more details on a three-issue comic miniseries that will serve as a prequel story to the highly anticipated game.

Now an orphan, Kismet and his adoptive sister Jani must build a better future for themselves, and humanity, in a world filled with danger.
