Dark Horse announces Borderlands: Moxxi’s Mysterious Memento by Amy Chu, Mike Norton

By John Freeman on July 24, 2024

US publisher Dark Horse, in collaboration with Gearbox Entertainment, has announced a new four-issue miniseries set in the Borderlands universe.

Borderlands: Moxxi’s Mysterious Memento is written by Amy Chu (Carmilla: The First Vampire, Red Sonja) with cover and interior art by Mike Norton (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1956, Revival), as well as Borderlands comics veteran colourist Heather Breckel (Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Land of the Giants, Plants vs. Zombies) and letterer Deron Bennet (Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: Land of the Giants, Masters of the Universe: Revelation).

This powerhouse crew assembles to tell the story of a mission unlike any other – because there is no one quite like Moxxi!

“I’m so pumped to be working on this,” says Amy Chu. “Mike Norton is killer on the art. I can’t believe I get to work with all my favourite characters from the game! Ever grateful to Gearbox, 2K, and Dark Horse for letting me play in this sandbox.”

“I’m excited for people to see this book,” said Mike Norton. “Amy’s written my favorite kind of story… Funny and full of action. I’m super happy with how it’s turning out!”

In Borderlands: Moxxi’s Mysterious Memento, former celebrity and current badass Siren Amara misses the fame and excitement of her glory days. Nowadays, common stooges don’t know who they’re messing with – though they’ll soon find out. In order to reclaim the highs of her former heroics, she needs a gig. Luckily, Moxxi needs help recovering a mysterious artifact!
