"Game Time"
An ancient evil returns to restore the blood curse upon the Ebony Blade. Dane Whitman will do anything to stand in its way. While an NFL Superstar was just looking for some cool memorabilia to add to his collection. Welcome to the adventure! The wicked sorcerer known as The Raven returns to Earth's realm to unleash the blood curse on the world and fulfill a thousand year old prophecy of death and destruction. Dane Whitman refuses to be The Raven's vessel, entrusting his famous sword to his assistant in the states, Norris, and bravely battles the mad wizard with a fake only to fall. Word of advice: never trust a bundling lab assistant who is always looking for extra funding. Norris mistakes the real blade for one he had sculpted and entered in the first "Avengers Memorabilia Auction." NFL phenom and super hero fan Robert Griffin III wins the bidding...and so much more. The Raven senses the Ebony Blade's aura in Washington D.C. and will stop at nothing to possess it. Left with little time and choice, a crippled Dane Whitman must mentor the wielder of the blade and prepare a new hero for the battle to come. RG3 switches helmets. But will the rookie super-hero be ready for an all out blitz? Time to hero up. The Giants are here (literally - big, ugly, evil giants seeking the sword) and the nation's capital needs a savior.
32 PGs./Rated A...$3.99
