ISSUE #6
Across distant systems and fractured realities, new forces begin to take shape. This issue of Heavy Metal brings together stories driven by conflict, transformation, and discovery. At the center of it all, presented by Ridley Scott and Scott Free Productions, Taarna emerges in a new vision, set in a world shaped by violence, survival, and memory. Written by Aaron Guzikowski (Raised by Wolves) and illustrated by Andy Belanger, this story redefines the iconic warrior for a new era. Fan-favorite series Millstone by Michael W. Conrad and Ilias Kyriazis, Gladiatrix by Dan Gordon and John Stanisci, and Ink by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, with art by Marco Failla, continue to unfold as mysteries deepen and new twists reshape their worlds. Further expanding this landscape, Noir Horizon by Philippe Pelaez and Benjamin Blasco-Martínez and Thellus by Simona Mogavino and Carlos Gómez push deeper into their arcs, revealing new layers of conflict, power, and resistance. This issue also features a selection of standalone science fiction stories, including 2430 AD, an adaptation by Fernando Fernandez, Space-Time by Chauzy, and The Ouroboros War by R.G. Llarena, each exploring distinct visions of the future and the unknown, alongside Burton & Cyb by Segura and Ortiz and much more! Writers: Aaron Guzikowski, Michael W.
