Aspen’s first ever Soulfire summer event, “Search for the Light” reaches its penultimate chapter in next week’s exciting new one-shot, Soulfire: Power #1. The enigmatic master and trainer known as Ren returns as The Search for the Light continues under the powerful pen of David Wohl (The Darkness, Executive Assistant Iris). In the absence of Malikai, the Bearer of Light and protagonist of Soulfire, and in a forced meditative state, Ren soon becomes a conduit for all of the uncontrollable magic pulsing throughout the world. The only problem is that such a mighty force of magic easily becomes a destructive wave of disaster that Benoist and his tech-savvy allies in Tokyo must stop, before it destroys everything in its path, including perhaps even the world itself!

This new tale in the epic that is Soulfire bridges the gap between volumes 3 and 4, with art by Khary Randolph (Charismagic, Starborn), Nacho Arranz (Dungeons & Dragons, Grimm Fairy Tales presents Call of Wonderland), John Starr (Brightest Day, Mindfield), and Emilio Lopez (Charismagic, Static Shock). Check out the 4-page preview below, as well as the awesome Comic Con exclusive cover that was available from Aspen in San Diego last week. Also, don’t forget to pick up Soulfire: Power #1 when it hits stores next Wednesday, July 25th.
