“The Lightless Path”

In "The Lightless Path," Orion’s struggle takes a harrowing turn as Arnicus Wolfram drains his life-force to sustain eternal life, leaving the young warrior trapped in darkness.

Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Tatjana Wood and Digital Chameleon, this issue delivers a powerful, visually striking chapter in Orion’s journey—its cover by Simonson captures the weight of that moment in stark, evocative detail.
