Yet, even as she struggles to dispatch this final monster, Kako’s forces under the leadership of the corrupted warlord Urcuss lay waste to Sumuul’s people and cities, setting the stage for a dire battle, one which Taarna may not live to see. Rosado’s visceral, yet fantastic art highlights a desperate, bloody battle in the classic blend of sci-fi and fantasy the character of Taarna and the Heavy Metal brand are known for. Related: The Immortal Legacy of Iconic Artist Frank FrazettaĪfter fighting her way through two seemingly indomitable adversaries, Taarna’s mettle is being put to the test in her hunt to slay the final beast, a venomous snake-like dragon who dwells in what resembles a lake of blood. While she’s already taken down two of them, the final dragon looks to have her number. Now having been summoned to the world of Sumuul to stop the forces of chaos from eradicating all intelligent life on the planet, Taarna has been forced to duel three gigantic monsters, a golem-like figure alongside two horrific dragons, with only her wits, her steed, and her sword. A retelling of the narrative from the famously psychedelic film, Phillips here imagines Taarna as a guardian goddess of order and light fighting a never-ending battle across the cosmos against monsters, mayhem, and magic. Originating in the 1981 Heavy Metal animated film, the iconic Taarna flies again in this new 6-issue miniseries written by Stephanie Phillips and illustrated by Patrick Zircher, Al Barrionuevo and Christian Rosado. Strong though she is, there’s no guarantee this dispenser of divine justice is going to make it out of this alive. A peerless warrior of unworldly beauty and even more unworldly battle prowess, this tale of the mysterious battle-goddess kicks into high gear with the newest issue, as Taarna goes after the last of three giant monsters summoned by the formless corruptor Kako, also known as the Loc-Nar. A warrior goddess akin to Wonder Woman from across space and time will be dueling her final space dragon this week, as Taarna, the Last Taarakian prepares to end her fight against Kako, God of Chaos.
