Tomorrow, Serena makes her way into every comic book store across the nation as the new colorist for Bryan J.L. Glass and Mike Oeming’s The Mice Templar! Beginning with Volume 3, issue 7, Serena’s colors bring added life and depth to Victor Santos’ already awesome art!

‘SNOWBLIND’ The rebellion grows! Yet disaster follows when the idealistic youth E’Tan and Gabrielle join the resistanceÖand come face-to-face with Royal Consort Lorelie and a network of druid spies.

And shocking news arrives concerning the fate of King Icarus! Meanwhile, Pilot the Tall and Harad battle side-by-side against rat forces, and the training of One-Arm Leito takes a dark and tragic turn when the young hero embraces vengeance!

The two-time Harvey Award-winning series continues, from the acclaimed writer of Thor: First Thunder and the co-creator of Powers and Takio!

Serena will also be returning to C2E2′s Artist Alley this year so pick up your copy tomorrow and have her sign it in April!

So, if you’re picking up Mice Templar Vol. III #2 next week on New Comic Book Day, you’ll notice a certain geek/nerd/blogger’s girlfriend has a pin-up in the the back section of the book called Myth, Legend and The Mice Templar. And if you aren’t picking it up, or have never picked up any of the series for that matter, what the hell is wrong with you? Bryan J.L. Glass and Michael Avon Oeming have created something truly unique and of the highest caliber in visual storytelling that is rare in mainstream comic books these days! It’s well worth it!

This is Serena’s first appearance as an artist in a major comic book! Pick up your copy before they are all sold out! And if you’re in Chicago for c2e2 in March, bring it with you! She’ll be making her first appearance at c2e2′s Artist Alley!
