Dark Horse Comics announced Cullen Bunn and A.C. Zamudio have teamed for Arcana Royale, a new four-issue mini-series where a gambler enters a card tournament where the stakes are higher than you might imagine.
Hudson Tremaine is a streetwise gambler who has siphoned money from every high-stakes game in Vegas. She’s made a name for herself, but she’s also made more than a few enemies in the gambling underworld. When she’s invited to play in the most underground card tournaments of all–the Arcanos Mysterinos—she realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined possible.
Imagine a clandestine poker tournament where magicians, demons, and demigods gamble using a set of mysterious tarot-like cards. These games shape the fate of the world—of many worlds—for good or ill. This game has always been played in secret, hidden from the prying eyes of mortals.
Until now.
Hudson has always been willing to bet on herself, but playing for the fate of all humanity is something she never anticipated!
“Arcana Royale has been in the works for a while now, and I’m excited for people to get to read it,” said Bunn. “This is a story about controlling your own fate (even if you have to cheat a little) in the face of overwhelming odds. There’s a little bit of Hudson Tremaine… or at least there should be… in each and everyone of us.”
Arcana Royale #1 is scheduled to arrive on April 23, 2025, with a $4.99 cover price.
