AWBW's MEZO to continue with new limited series this May

A Wave Blue World’s beloved Mezo series is getting a by-product this May, and The Beat has the small print! Mezo: The Trial of the Roden is a five-issue limited series co-written by series creator and A Wave Blue World co-founder Tyler Chin-Tanner and Jarred Luján, illustrated by Val Rodrigues, and coloured by Gab Contreras and Varga Tomi.

Here’s how A Wave Blue World describes Mezo: The Trial of the Roden #1:

In the land of Mezo, the Tzalekuhl Empire units out to conquer all surrounding territories, disrupting the peace that has lasted for generations. Only Kyma, the daughter of a fallen chief who refused to yield, stands of their method. In the aftermath of the Battle at Coban Rock, the Empire has reclaimed its dominance, however there’s a traitor within the midst. Roden, the as soon as trustworthy soldier, confirmed mercy to the enemy by aiding their escape. Now, he faces judgement earlier than the Almighty Kuhl. Who will come to his protection? Old pals, fellow troopers, and even bitter rivals will determine the destiny of the person who as soon as risked every little thing to save all of them.

Inspired by Mesoamerican historical past and legends, Mezo is a very distinctive fantasy journey pushed by struggle, political intrigue, and historical magic!

On working with series newcomer Jarred Luján, Chin-Tanner says, “Jarred is simply one of the best, new writers working in comics today. I really wanted to see what he could do with Mezo. He picked up on the story seamlessly and brought such a renewed sense of energy to the characters. I can’t wait to see what he does with the series from here!”

Luján echoes Chin-Tanner’s pleasure. “Mezo is incredible and I’m honored to become a part of the team. When I read the first two volumes I was floored at how well Mezo brings together deeply interwoven characters into a bold, new fantasy setting,” he says. “The Trial of Roden is such a good arc for this book, an examination of duty and justice… and how the two aren’t always the same choice. I’m psyched for readers, returning and newcomers alike, to discover the world of Mezo.”
