BLACK RAVEN COMICS is a comic book publishing company based in Wichita, Kansas. The first series now in publication is SAGA: Dawn of the New Viking Age.
"The Earth was plagued with disaster, cruelty and greed had consumed mankind while the great cities of the world burned and the whole of creation was consumed in smoke and flame - Ragnarok had descended upon Midgard.
Amidst this age of ruin come the warriors of Stormhammer, sons of the north, setting the world to right. To sow the seeds of a new world of wonder upon the ashes of the old. Bound by honor, sworn troth to one another, the time has come to pay the wolf...thus are heroes born.
It is the Dawn of the new Viking Age, would you know more?"
