Stoneheart: A Hero’s Journey Begins in New Fantasy Series from Emma Kubert

Image Comics has announced a brand-new series titled Stoneheart. The whimsical fantasy series introduces readers to a new world and the beginning of a hero’s journey as Shayde sees herself exiled from her guild and a sinister voice that awakens an incomprehensible power. The series comes from fan-favorite artist Emma Kubert who has collaborated on Frank Miller’s Pandora, Inklblot, and Radiant Pink. 

Image Comics’ description of Stoneheart reads: 

“In Stoneheart, the bubbly and headstrong Shayde Whisper has been inexplicably exiled from her magical guild and relocated—left only with vague memories and romanticized hope. But when she hears a sinister voice in her head that awakens a power beyond her comprehension, she’ll traverse her past and present to unravel her prestigious place within the mystical land of Athea! “

“Stoneheart introduces a new perspective on the hero’s journey and a deep dive into our capabilities of great good and great evil. I began this series simply as a catharsis to help me deal with the many worldly problems my generation is facing today, but it slowly culminated into a confrontation of my inner monologue,” said Kubert. 

“The art, the writing, and the lettering is all a reflection of myself and my dedication to the  industry and craft. Through humor, adventure, excitement, action, and love, Stoneheart confronts our inner self-worth and creates an entirely new fantasy; a fantasy where we strive for peace.”

Stoneheart #1 will be available at your favorite local comic and digitally on March 8, 2023.
