I, Tyrant (2025-)

The Zahhak legend, a stark depiction of tyrants, is being rewritten. The poet Hafez has been instructed to discard its unpromising conclusion. He must now forge a new exodus for the myth, one that will serve as a brutal reboot within the world of comics. This process demands a fundamental antagonist. The clash between ancient magical realism and modern narrative force reshapes the foundational story, with Hafez at the center of the reconstruction. The weight of the original tale presses against the demands for a new, more potent devil.
