Now, joined by artist Lee Moder (First Born: Aftermath, Painkiller Jane), Marz debuts DRAGON PRINCE, a five-part modern fantasy with equal doses of magic and martial arts mayhem. Like a lot of teenagers, Aaron Chiang feels he’s never fit in, though he’s never known why.

Hunted to the brink of extinction by a secret society of wizards, dragonkind’s survival is now in Aaron’s hands.
