About The Complete ElfQuest Volume Eight: FutureQuest:
Cutter’s quest is complete, but now stargazer Skywise and his daughter Jink set out on separate quests of their own to recover something precious that has been lost—or stolen. Their journeys span both space and time, bridging the past and the future of the World of Two Moons, now known as Abode.
Meanwhile the planet’s human inhabitants have entered their own technological age and have come to face the truth: they were never alone on their world. One perplexing mystery remains unsolved—why did the elves of Abode disappear, and where did they go? Jink makes the answer her personal quest, even as she crosses paths with a rowdy group of space-faring misfits, The Rebels, on their own search for answers.
“These characters and stories have been a long time brewing,” confides Richard and Wendy Pini. “And we’re thrilled for them finally to get the top-notch Dark Horse treatment. The number eight has always been special to ElfQuest (the elves count on eight fingers) and this volume completes a very special octad for us. Now readers can follow the elves’ adventures from the distant past right on through the not-so-distant future.

Praise for ElfQuest:
“ElfQuest is one of comics’ earliest self-publishing success stories … one of the most beautifully crafted, well thought out comic book fantasy epics of all-time. The story is sweeping in scope, combining many eras and events in the world of Two Moons. (It is) the most daring fantasy epic being published … with relatable but fantastic characters guiding readers through a complex world. The Pinis’ art and prose are sublime and beautiful to behold, showing that comics can be a place where fantasy can be taken to the next level of artistry.” — Comic Book Resources
