The Courier & Robyn Hood Lead Zenescope January 2021 Solicitations

The company known for long-running titles such as Grimm Fairy Tales and Robyn Hood, as well as occasional licensed titles including Charmed and Se7en, is following through on what editor Dave Franchini told Bleeding Cool earlier this month, switching their format to one-shots and quarterlies. In addition to their main titles continuing in this format, there will also be a miniseries sequel to writer Ralph Tedesco's The Courier from 2017.
