Warlands

In the late 1990s, Image Comics unleashed Warlands, a 13-issue fantasy epic blending high-tech weaponry with brutal, sword-and-sorcery combat across a war-torn realm. Driven by the kinetic, glossy art of Pat Lee, Omar Dogan, and Jeff Woo—who also co-wrote alongside Adrian Tsang—the series stood out for its hyper-detailed, anime-influenced visuals and sprawling battles. A product of its era's boom in flashy, creator-owned action comics, Warlands remains a distinctive artifact of Image's experimental mid-90s expansion into original fantasy worlds.
