Malus Darkblade
The British writers Mike Lee and Dan Abnett have been writing for quite some time now, with them being highly prolific figures within the science-fiction and comic book scene, creating strong profiles that have come to be regarded as some of the biggest brands currently working to date. Working on some major franchises such as ‘The Punisher’ and ‘Doctor Who’, Dan Abnett is a highly gifted writer known for his many various contributions to the genre, as he combines both character and excitement to thrilling effect. With expert world-building skills as well, he’s able to provide a sense of scope and scale that’s unrivaled to this very day, with many looking to replicate his work throughout the rest of the industry. Imaginative and creative, he’s also worked on a number of his own series too, as he has managed to build worlds of his own alongside the various franchises that he’s worked on throughout the years. One such series is that of his long-running ‘Malus Darkblade’ series of novels; a franchise which he’s worked on with Mike Lee as well, as they’ve both combined their efforts to create this independent series set within the ‘Warhammer’ universe. Working with a major franchise such as ‘Warhammer’, the table-top gaming brand, they’ve essentially created their own thing from it, making it stand out on its own two feet. Following the character of Malus Darkblade, it follows him as a Dark Elf as he travels across the kingdom looking to exert his influence as far as he possibly can to all corners of the known land. Using all the tactics at his disposal, such as cunning, cruelty, ambition and intelligence, he’s a gifted warrior, as well as being the bastard son of Vaulkhar of Hag Graef, another previously legendary figure within and throughout the kingdom, as Darkblade seeks to make his own name heard by all.
