Mantra
(Malibu, 1993-1995)
™ and ©1993 Malibu Comics Entertainment, Inc.
The man known as Lukasz had been one of twelve warriors who had fought evil throughout the ages. Led by the mystic Archimage, they battled a sorcerous being known as Boneyard and his parallel group of henchmen. Strangely, whenever either Archimage’s or Boneyard’s soldiers would fall in the line of battle, their master would mystically reincarnate them in another body to begin the fight anew. Thus the battle has dragged on over the centuries…
…until now. A traitor in Archimage’s camp has given Boneyard his greatest secret, which led to Archimage’s defeat. In the battle that followed, Lukasz was killed once again, but with Archimage out of the picture, the expected “reincarnation” did not go as smoothly as planned. Lukasz ended up occupying the body of a woman, Eden Blake. Worse yet, Lukasz finds his only hope for survival lies with Warstrike, the very man who killed him!
