During the Festival of the Sun, a red-haired woman arrives in a crowded imperial city and moves through its markets, drawing the attention of a woman seated with a hooded, reptilian figure.

Page 1

A gray-haired, bearded man stands with a sword in a stone courtyard as a crowd watches; several people lie on the ground, and a hooded, reptilian-looking figure stands to the right. Text: “ISHTAR”; “LAST OF HER NAME”; “ISSUE 1”; “CHAPTER 1”; “THE EMPTY FIST.” There is no dialogue.

Page 2

A small figure walks along a winding rocky road through a dry valley toward a distant city. Below, an armored rider on a large, dark, feather-covered animal faces the walled city. Caption: “South of the Imperial City...”

Page 3

A muddy street lies before a massive stone gate and crowded towers. A helmeted rider sits on a large feathered bird as a man beside it holds its reins; other people and animals are visible in the street. A close view shows the rider’s helmet and red hair, followed by a close view of a red-haired woman looking to the side. There is no dialogue.
