First announced at the ComiXology Originals press conference atComic-Con International San Diego The Stone King will debut tomorrow on ComiXology . Issue #1 is the first in a 4-part miniseries.
Overview
The Stone King is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure written by Kel McDonald (Misfits of Avalon, Cautionary Fables and Fairytales) with art by Tyler Crook (Harrow County). The highly anticipated series features a rock giant, a flying dog, and a young teenage thief who must learn to take responsibility for her mistakes.
“As a kid, I always craved adventure stories about girls and fantastical worlds,” said The Stone King writer, Kel McDonald. “I think right now the world needs more adventure stories about girls who’re flawed people. We are seeing more stories centered around girls, but mostly the focus has been on women/girls who are good role models. And it’s important to me to have more adventure fantasy stories where the main character is a girl, but also a flawed individual.”
