Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, has partnered with Marvel to release several comic series. The first series, Ashe: Warmother, debuted today with its first issue. In this article, we’ll discuss the key moments of the first issue and speculate on what may happen next. If you want to read it yourself, you can find it on the official landing page for the series.
The first issue of Ashe: Warmother confirmed some of our speculations. It revealed Ashe’s journey to become the chosen of Avarosa, a legendary heroine in the League of Legends lore. In a flashback, Ashe is led by her mother to Avarosa’s throne. However, their relationship seems to be strained due to their differing views on raiding and warfare. Ashe wants to unite the tribes, while her mother is focused on raiding and pillaging.
Additionally, the comic sheds light on Ashe’s past and the circumstances of her becoming the warmother of her tribe. It is hinted that her mother died in battle, but the details are unclear. The cliffhanger ending of the first issue shows a rival tribe attacking Ashe’s tribe, leaving her mother instructing her to run. This raises the question of whether Ashe will be able to escape.
The second issue of Ashe: Warmother will be released soon, so stay tuned for more updates.
