Liam Sharp Returns To The World Of StarHenge With ‘Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella’

by Olly MacNamee

Award-winning, and now Eisner-nominated, artist and writer Liam Sharp (Green Lantern, Spawn: The Dark Ages) is returning to his fantastical Arthurian realm of StarHenge to crreate an all-new graphic novel, Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella.


“Following the events of StarHenge, in which a future Merlin travels to 5th-century Britain to prevent monstrous time-traveling robots from robbing the universe of magic, Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella charts the battle between the resurrected Ur-Queen and the horrifying AI of the CAST, in a galaxy-spanning conflict where ALL sentient life is threatened. A first look at a selection of pages from the graphic novella shows Sharp’s stunning illustrations and the genesis of Ore, revealing the plans of her many avatars: to save as much life as they could, and to make the CAST learn how to suffer.”

Speaking of this new work, Sharp states:

“Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella blurs the line between illustrated books and comics, with a blistering, hard sci-fi saga of epic proportions,” said Sharp. “The graphic novella expands the StarHenge universe with a galaxy-spanning saga focusing on the Ur-Queen after her physical death. Becoming an agent of vengeance against the implacable might of the CAST—alien AI wearing human skin faces—she fights a losing battle in search of a single idea that might tip the balance…”

Ore: A StarHenge Graphic Novella out in comic book stores on Wednesday, August 7th from Image Comics.
