This initial volume collects the epic “Abandon All Hope” origin story, illustrated by Ron Adrian, introducing readers to a tragic young woman named Hope, whose quest to save her mother’s kidnapped soul leads her to a perilous mystical realm… and her transformation into the cold, alluring warrior Lady Death! Also contained within is “Wicked,” a tale of blood and sorcery illustrated by Richard Ortiz, providing further insight into the iconic Lady Death and her supporting cast.

Stripped of her magic and memory, the sword-wielding and suddenly human Lady Death travels to exotic locations worldwide to face terrifying enemies and reclaim her former glory. Long ago, a young woman sacrificed her humanity to become the otherworldly femme fatale known as Lady Death. But now, Lady Death is no more. Stripped of her magic and memory, dethroned by the villainous Death Queen, and banished from the Blacklands, she escapes to Earth during the Dark Ages in the form of an amnesiac mortal thief named Illadra. Driven by hazy visions of her former glory, the skillful Illadra sets off on a worldwide quest to reclaim her fragmented power…and face the evils that her magic has awakened. The first volume of the new Lady Death series includes a rare prose introduction by writer Mike Wolfer, previously only available in a hard-to-find comic book handed out at conventions.

Contains over 120 pages of appendices, including complete lists and analysis of all the wives and families of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball, highlighting polyandrous relationships and children born into those unions; plus details of over a hundred children born post 1890 to polygamous wives of General Authorities who violated their own canonised Manifesto after they had covenanted to stop the practice.

One simple, powerful word—hineini—contains the key to deepening your relationship with God and with others. Hineini (Here I am!). This single spoken word appears only fourteen times in the Bible–each time in a memorable and meaningful story: Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice to God, Jacob deceiving his father for Esau’s birthright, Moses answering the call that comes from the Burning Bush. Scholar and popular teacher Norman Cohen explores each of these powerful stories and shows what each can reveal about you as parent, spouse, sibling, lover, and friend. By probing these dynamic biblical relationships, Cohen challenges you to think about the ways you relate to the people in your life and God. And, to add other fascinating perspectives to the conversation, eleven insightful authors and teachers share personal reflections that exemplify each of the hineini passages.
