About the series

In Birthright (2014–2021), Joshua Williamson and artist Andrei Bressan crafted a sprawling fantasy epic for Image Comics that reimagines the classic "chosen one" trope through a deeply personal, family-driven lens. The series follows Mikey Rhodes, a boy who vanished into a magical realm and returned years later as a grizzled warrior, only to find his homecoming fractured by secrets and a dark prophecy. Over its 50-issue run, the story weaves between two worlds—our own and the war-torn land of Terrenos—exploring themes of loyalty, redemption, and the cost of heroism. With its lush, expressive art and emotionally charged narrative, Birthright stands as a modern fantasy standout that balances epic battles with intimate character drama.
