Starting with Issue 2, the hit mini-series Runes of Ragnan moves to Jim Valentino's Shadowline imprint at Image Comics. Taking place over a period of a thousand years, the story of two warring Viking brothers and their quest to collect the Runes of Ragnan travels from the rocky terrain of a 9th century Nordic land to the urban decay of today's cities. Complete with action and intrigue, Runes of Ragnan is an epic fantasy/high adventure in the tradition of recent successes Conan and Red Sonja.

“This is the kind of epic sword-and-sorcery, son of Frazetta story I love!” said Valentino. “Every page is a masterpiece; the story is rich and compelling. This is what comics are supposed to be! We’re proud to be representing Runes of Ragnan to the buying public.”

Runes of Ragnan #2 will be available in November Previews for a January release. Featuring story by Ty Gorton (Gunn), art by Josh Medors (Fused), Ryan Wynn (Hunter-Killer) and Jay Fotos (Spawn), Issue 2 takes up right where Issue 1 left off: After a Viking warlord uses an ancient ritual to unleash a powerful demon, his twin brother races against time to stop his quest for world domination. As the battle rages on, the people of the land are caught in the middle! An Order of Druids steps into the middle of the fray, and the epic battle for world domination ensues!

Silent Devil published Issue 1, and is proud to be working with Shadowline to bring the title to a larger audience. The production studio also recently released the critically acclaimed Dracula vs. King Arthur mini-series. Known for stellar artwork and entertaining stories, the studio fits right in with Shadowline's dedication to crafting quality comics.
