“I'm beyond thrilled to continue Marvel's Warhammer 40,000 line with this new series,” says Torunn Grønbekk, author of the series. “Seeing the story come to life through the art of Edgar Salazar has been a true delight. It takes a particular talent to keep track of all the details essential to the 40K universe, and Edgar is next-level great. Combined with the colors of Arif Prianto, the grim darkness of the far future is brought to life in a style you've never seen before!"

The series takes place in the future of the 41st millennium and focuses on the adventures of the sisterhood of warriors known as the Adepta Sororitas.
