Titan Comics Announces ‘Dark Souls: The Willow King’

Titan Comics is returning for a fifth time to the decaying world of Dark Souls with Dark Souls: The Willow King. Based on Bandai Namco’s multi-award-winning game franchise, this new series is written by George Mann, and illustrated by Maan House.

“The new, four-part series will follow HERAD THE UNLIVED – a poor soul who failed to link the First Flame – as he is resurrected as an Unkindled by the mighty King USTRAD UTHREL. Ordered to seek out a revived Lord of Cinder, known as THE WILLOW KING, Herad must unite three mighty warriors and venture on a perilous journey into the unknown.” 

Mann shared his excitement in his statement below:

 “I’m overjoyed to be returning to the dark, grim, Hollow-ridden world OF DARK SOULS for this brand-new comic series. Like an Unkindled, we’re rising from the ashes to bring you something entirely new and exciting. We’ll journey with Heroth the Unlived as he and his companions seek out a reluctant Lord of Cinder, The Willow King, to try to bend him to his task. Expect new monsters! Giants! Unseen horrors! Dungeon delves and ruined cities! Will the flame ever be linked? You’ll have to read to find out… unless the Hollows get to you first…”

Dark Souls: The Willow King #1 will be released on January 31st, with covers from Stephanie Hans, Maan House, Alan Quah, and more.
