Vale of Tears (2025)

Hannibal, the general who nearly brought the Roman Empire to its knees, is alone and on the run. Rome wants his head. Brigands want his purse. All he has left is his blade, his horse, and his tattered reputation—but the goddess Ishtar has plans for him. The famous Carthaginian’s story is far from over. Adapted for comics by Jason Franks.

At the behest of the goddess Ishtar, Hannibal arrives at the court of Antiochus the Great, who is struggling to pay the taxes he owes to Hannibal’s old foes, the Romans. Perhaps this is an opportunity for Hannibal to have his revenge, but first he must prove himself to the decadent king. Adapted for comics by Jason Franks. Art and Color by Keith Donald
