For 40 years comic fandom has thrilled to the exploits of Elric since his introduction in Marvel Comics\u2019 Conan the Barbarian in the early 1970s. Neil Gaiman called Elric\u2019s creator Michael Moorcock \u201cmy model for what a writer was\u201d while Warren Ellis said he is one of the \u201ceight core sites in my creative genome.\u201d Now the godfather of the Multiverse teams up with hot New York Times bestseller Chris Roberson (SUPERMAN, iZOMBIE, STAN LEE\u2019S STARBORN) for an ongoing series that sees a crisis break out across multiple worlds with Moorcock\u2019s other two most famous fantasy franchise characters, Corum of the Scarlet Robe and Dorian Hawkmoon! The workings of Fate are being tampered across the Multiverse, upsetting the Cosmic Balance. Elric is on a quest to restore The Balance and save the Multiverse from ruin! Elric, Corum, and Hawkmoon are forced into action far and wide, but will they fight on the side of Law\u2026or Chaos?
