Vale of Tears (2025)

Hannibal's relationship with the Ishtar deepens as he prepares the decadent king Antiochus' troops for a skirmish with Roman troops. But who is more dangerous--the goddess or the empire? Written by Steve Kilb and Nicole Madunic, 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
