Media Release -- The epic conclusion to Briar Rose's journey begins here!



The smash hit, dark fantasy retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty story from co-creators Christopher Cantwell and Germán Garcia, with art by Alex Lins, has reached its final chapter.

Briar Rose and Spider finally share a moment of romantic bliss in the village of High Scrape—but the final challenge still awaits! The gang must navigate the perilous Fallswitch Traps, the last barrier to reach Grendrid's lair.

And though the journey is treacherous, what awaits is even more so…with one last spell to revive Grendrid to the height of her powers, will our heroes be prepared for the ultimate showdown?

To be able to conclude it with Alex and the entire team is a gift.Briar's world may be ending in this new chapter, but she sure as hell has something to say about it."
