AGE OF THE WOLF

“An axe-age, a sword-age, shields shall be cloven; a wind-age, a wolf age, ere the world totters…” The Norse Edda (13th century)

Created by myself and artist Jon Davis-Hunt for 2000 AD, Age Of The Wolf is an apocalyptic adventure in which werewolves have overrun the world, as a centuries-old prophecy causes a full moon to rise every night. Set primarily amid the ruins of London, the series follows a woman named Rowan Morrigan, who fights to not only defy her destiny but also retain her humanity as civilisation crumbles throughout this three-part series.

CHARACTER BIO: ROWAN MORRIGAN

When we meet Rowan
in the first series of Age Of The Wolf, she’s in her early 20s. Stubborn, level-headed, principled and with an aptitude for mechanics, Rowan discovers she has been selected by an ancestral Nordic prophecy to become a sacrifice to a monster and thus ensure the doom of all mankind. As she fights to defy the prophecy, Rowan learns of a magical force known as the ‘Wyrd’, a runic alphabet that gives her control over the future. By the second series, She Is Legend, Rowan is in her mid-thirties and has trained her body and mind to become a guardian of the strange forest that London has become. Wracked with guilt over the destruction caused by the prophecy, Rowan strives to find a way to undo the ‘moonspell’ and save humanity from extinction. In the third and final series, Wolfworld, Rowan is in her fifties, a battle-scarred hunter struggling to save her species from extinction.
