We’ve known for about a month that League of Legends<\/em> game developer Riot Games would be pushing out several comic series<\/a> as part of its partnership with entertainment giant Marvel. For all of the League<\/em> and comic fans out there that have been waiting patiently since then, we have some good news.<\/p>
The first series of the partnership, Ashe: Warmother<\/em>, began today with its first issue,<\/a> and it rocks. Below, we’ll dive into some of the key parts of the first issue, as well as what we think will happen next. That being said, if you don’t want to know what happens until after you read it, don’t look past this line, and go check out the official landing page<\/a> for the series.<\/p>
During our coverage<\/a> of the comic prior to its release, we guessed that the series would explain how Ashe became either the chosen of Avarosa, a mythical heroine within League’s<\/em> lore universe, or how she became her reincarnation. So far, we were right on the money, as Ashe, in what appears to be a flashback, is currently being led by her mother to Avarosa’s throne.<\/p>
