This series continues with the same characters, tone, and story that was begun at Crossgen. If you liked the Crossgen series, you'll love this new one. Medieval Europe is threatened by a near immortal race called the Eldritch. Humanity's last hope for survival is Lady Death, an outcast who is half-human, half-Eldritch, and all attitude. She is part of both clans, but belongs to neither. Bearing the sword of vengeance, Lady Death roams the medieval realms protecting the very people who fear her. In this issue, the cooly sadistic Archbishop Vittorio captures Lady Death's mentor Wolfram Von Bach. Lady Death leads an attack to rescue him, but will she jeopardize the uneasy peace in the process? The perfect jumping-on point for new readers, as it features a brief re-cap of the story so far.
