LOS ANGELES, CA (December 10, 2019) – BOOM!

Delve into the secret history of the world of Thra and its inhabitants before the Age of Resistance.
Enter a world of wonder, danger, and excitement with writer Nicole Andelfinger (Adventure Time), artist Esdras Cristobal (Rugrats), colorist Rod Fernandes, and letterer Jim Campbell as they uncover an epic story from the world of Thra in the time before Age of Resistance.

Ordon, a mighty Gelfling warrior, and a young stowaway, Fara, set off on a quest to retrieve the one item that could save their kind. Now, with the end of their quest in sight, Ordon and Fara finally have hope that they will be able to save their village. But the journey home proves just as treacherous, and the two of them may arrive too late to stop the destruction of everything they love…
