The first Horizon Zero Dawn comic book starring Aloy and Talanah turned out to be pretty successful. So naturally, Titan Comics wants to do a sequel to it, only not with someone else this time around.

Titan Comics is proud to announce their new comic book Horizon Zero Dawn: Liberation. Authors Ben McCaw and Anne Toole are responsible for the story, while artist Elmer Damaso did the artwork. This series will take place during the events of the original game, and will star Erend in a new adventure with Aloy. This time, Erend is in a spot of trouble. Apparently, he and Aloy are after a killer who has connections with Erend’s past. Considering that Erend helped liberate the Carja Sundom from a mad Sun King in his past, this could potentially be a very dangerous foe.
