In this issue we've got a tale loosely based on the legend of Yennenga of Burkina Faso. What happens when the prophesied warrior wants something more out of life than warfare? When the palace guards stage a coup against the royal family, will the young daughter of the family escape to a new world or stay where her home and heart are?What happens when a small town calls out to the evil that dwells in dark places, and the evil answers?Can a small contingent of warriors hold back the villainous forces of Kagan Kadir, whose lieutenants are each more horrific than the last?Stranded on a planet, can a frontier space man escape? If he leaves, what will he be forced to leave behind?A man can't remember how he got on the train. He doesn't know the other passengers, but each has a story to tell. What kind of destination is Oblivion anyway?And finally, our cover story-to what ends will an emperor go to become a god, and what might it cost a man to oppose him?
