A recent timetable outlining events and workshops at Warhammer World unveiled something of interest. While lost among some of the more pressing notes of late, a small mention in the Black Library segment noted the following:
Suffice to say, this is big. For those not in the know, Inferno (Or rather, Inferno!) was the big promotional magazine for stories and lore in general. It hosted a number of long-running comics we have covered on here over the years, such as Ulli and Marquand, Titan, Bloodquest and a staggeringly large number of one-shot concepts. More than this, however, it was where many short stories and experimental concepts were first tested, with more than a few Black Library series showing up within its pages. If you have ever wondered why a few early books in the company's flagship series tended to be anthologies, notably the Gaunt's Ghosts work Ghostmaker, you need look no further than this book.
The fact that they are openly appealing to new writers and seeking submissions suggests that it will once more become a test bed for ideas, and a promotional piece for shorter tales. With Titan handling the longer running comics, this could be a fun return to the shorter one-shots and brief arcs which the likes of Kal Jericho benefitted from over the years. We will only learn more as the company opens up about this news.
