January 23, 2007, Runnemede, NJ – DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT
released images and information today regarding the late March
release of Xena #8 and the conclusion of the intense Dark Xena
storyline from writer John Layman, artist Noah Salonga and
colorist Chris Garcia. Xena #8 will be available with covers by

Dark Xena is the second Xena storyline from writer John Layman
and the first for artist Noah Salonga. Taking place prior to the
events in Dynamite’s first four-issue storyline titled Contest
of Pantheons, Dark Xena links the finale of the Xena television
show with the all-new Dynamite comic book series. Longtime fans
of the television series can recount how Xena was introduced as
a brutal villain but changed her evil ways and set out on a
quest for redemption that ended when the warrior princess
sacrificed her life to right the wrong she had committed many
years ago. Dark Xena bridges the gap between the television
series and the comic book series by featuring the sacrifices
Xena’s companions were willing to make for her to return, as
well as the consequences of her resurrection.
