The slaying of Dreadcrawl brought only infamy for Briar and her band of bounty hunting companions. They may be chivalrous in truth, but the whispers of their capacity for swords plunged through the hearts of any that cross them is enough to keep their coin purses full. However, between the zealous arm of the law, a future filled with more accursed cold and devastation than the snow-capped mountains, and heavy chains for our heroes, will Spider’s clever plan be enough for Briar to finally reach the castle of her evil fairy godmother Grendrid? And will there be room yet for love to blossom between Briar and a close companion in such a desolate land? Written by Eisner Award-nominated, screenwriter, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell (Halt & Catch Fire, Iron Man) and illustrated by Eisner Award-nominated illustrator Alex Lins (Monarch, Namor), witness the next chapter of the "Sleeping Beauty" who was never saved, left to ruin and rot, brought to waking life against all odds in a darker world than she ever dreamed possible.
Christopher Cantwell is the current writer of the ongoing IRON MAN series for Marvel Comics. His other comic credits include THE UNITED STATES OF CAPTAIN AMERICA and DOCTOR DOOM (also for Marvel), THE BLUE FLAME (Vault), SHE COULD FLY and EVERYTHING (both from Berger Books and Dark Horse).
Chris is also a co-creator, executive producer, and showrunner of AMC’s HALT AND CATCH FIRE and additionally served as an executive producer on the first season of the upcoming TV adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s PAPER GIRLS, coming soon to Amazon Prime.
