At The Beat, Vault Comics have announced “The Necromancer’s Map,” a follow-up to last year’s fantasy comic “Songs for the Dead.” Writers Andrea Fort and Michael Christopher Heron will reunite with artist Sam Beck on the series, which sees “necromancer with a heart of gold Bethany and Elissar, her prone-to-brawling companion, [on] a quest to find the Covenant, a sanctuary for Bethany’s otherwise reviled magic. Unfortunately, their map makes no sense, leading them to seek the help of a young wizard named Jonas, whose knowledge may unravel the map’s secrets.”

Heron told The Beat, “‘Songs for the Dead’ was a labor of love for us, and I’m so excited to be able to continue Bethany and Elissar’s journey in ‘The Necromancer’s Map.’ This is a perfect place for anyone new to the series to jump in, and for longstanding fans of the series, we promise answers to some of those burning questions! (But we’ll also add way more questions).” Fort added, “‘The Necromancer’s Map’ is a new beginning and a continuation. This is a part of the story I have really been looking forward to telling. Not only because there is so much of the world to explore, but we get to see a new side of both Bethany and Elissar as well.”

According to Vault’s website, “The Necromancer’s Map” #1 will be released on August 28, 2019, with subsequent issues following on September 25, October 30, November 20, and December 11.
