Dead Romans, a new swords-and-sandals series from Shadowline – an imprint of Image Comics, will tell the tale of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest.
Dead Romans is written by Fred Kennedy with art by Nick Marinkovich.
Arminius has fought for Rome long enough. He is a German by birth, and now that he serves as advisor to the Roman governor of Germania, he sees firsthand the cruelty Rome has inflicted on his people. So he hatches a plan to unite the Germanic tribes, confront Rome’s army in a carefully planned attack, and reclaim Germania for its people.
But Arminius’s plan is complicated by Honoria, the woman he loves. She serves the Roman governor; she is faithful and loyal to Rome. For Arminius’s victory to have any meaning, she must accept his actions and remain at his side as his queen. But when the fighting starts, will she choose love over empire?
Dead Romans arrives on March 1, 2023.
