One full turn of the sun since Heavy Metal returned in full stride with renewed force¸ the magazine moves forward as Gladiatrix by Dan Gordon and John Stanisci and Ink by Charley Parlapánides¸ Vlas Parlapánides¸ and Marco Failla continue to unfold¸ and Cold Dead War by Craig Wilson closes a chapter. Dark Horizons by Philippe Pelaez and Benjamin Blasco-Martinez begins its run¸ a post-apocalyptic science fiction series set on Kepler-452 b¸ where a forbidden zone has claimed every expedition sent beyond it. Thellus by Simona Mogavino and Carlos Gómez makes its debut as a new science fiction saga¸ introducing a myth-infused world ruled by absolute power and laying the groundwork for a broader story of domination and resistance.
