Dark Horse Taps Tapas Webcomic, Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana

Serialized as a webcomic on Tapas, Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana by Elaine Tipping is a queer fantasy adventure coming to Dark Horse.

Currently serialized as a webcomic on Tapas, Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana by Elaine Tipping is a queer fantasy adventure telling the story of a world reckoning with the awakening of an ancient empire who seeks to conquer them, now being published in print for the first time with updated art, set to arrive for the 3rd of September 2024. This is becoming a more and more common route to publication, with Dark Horse following the likes of Webtoon UNscrolled with this kind of material.

"Follow a cast of heroes from all walks of life as they lead the charge to stop an ancient empire bent on world domination in this queer YA graphic novel! An archaeological dig backed by all four countries of Tuvana is meant to shed light on the past while uniting the countries under a similar goal, despite their differences. However, the project takes a sudden dark turn after an unexpected discovery. Communications are lost, family members are missing, there are strange changes in the land and unexpected climate irregularities–all threatening to unravel the tenuous ties that have kept Tuvana at peace for so long. A clever princess, a set of royal twins with two very different personalities, a patient guard looking after an inquisitive scholar, a powerful and mysterious loving couple, and a fun-having street brawler are all pulled slowly from their very different paths through life as they each stumble across parts of a puzzle that, once assembled, could change–or destroy–the future of their world forever."

"One volume collecting the first nine chapters of Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana. In the words of creator Elaine Tipping: "Pathways is a high fantasy adventure, with a dash of sci-fi and a bunch of dragons, for fans of Ghibli and Critical Role!'"

Previous webcomic projects from Elaine Yipping include the now-complete comic adaptation of Peter Pan, and Licensed Heroes. Elaine has also been published through Scout Comics with Princess Revolution, a tale featuring three princesses whose beloved partners have been captured by three evil queens. Elaine is also currently working on Fates Errant, a tale following Knight Errant Vos and his path to finding family, love and closure. In moments of free time, Elaine posts Wayfarer of Vyrandel, a silent comic exploring the expansive world of Vyrandel through the eyes of the Traveler.
