Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost #2
After his descent into a network of perilous caverns for the sorcerer Qassim, the thieving rogue known as Aladdin has reappeared in the city of Shambhalla. But, Aladdin is no longer a pauper, but a rich and decadent prince, transformed by the power of the Djinn of the Lamp. When Qassim exposes Aladdin for a fraud and kidnaps the lovely Princess Soraya, there’s only one man Aladdin can turn to: Sinbad, the legendary mariner. With Sinbad’s help, Aladdin must journey to the hidden depths of the city to parlay with the world’s deadliest sovereign. Will she help the duo find Qassim for a price far beyond Aladdin’s imagination...

About the author
Ian Edginton
793 books148 followersEdginton sees part of the key to his success coming from good relationships with artists, especially D'Israeli and Steve Yeowell as well as Steve Pugh and Mike Collins. He is best known for his steampunk/alternative history work (often with the artist D'Israeli) and is the co-creator of Scarlet Traces, a sequel to their adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. With 2000 AD we has written Leviathan, Stickleback and, with art by Steve Yeowell, The Red Seas as well as one-off serials such as American Gothic (2005).
His stories often have a torturous gestation. Scarlet Traces was an idea he had when first reading The War of the Worlds, its first few instalments appeared on Cool Beans website, before being serialised in the Judge Dredd Megazine. Also The Red Seas was initially going to be drawn by Phil Winslade and be the final release by Epic but Winslade was still tied up with Goddess and when ideas for replacement artists were rejected Epic was finally wound up - the series only re-emerging when Edginton was pitching ideas to Matt Smith at the start of his 2000 AD career.
With D'Israeli he has created a number of new series including Stickleback, a tale of a strange villain in an alternative Victorian London, and Gothic, which he describes as "Mary Shelley's Doc Savage". With Simon Davis he recently worked on a survival horror series, Stone Island, and he has also produced a comic version of the computer game Hellgate: London with Steve Pugh.
He is currently working on a dinosaurs and cowboys story called Sixgun Logic. Also as part of Top Cow's Pilot Season he has written an Angelus one-shot.

Wild Twist!
Adventure turns weird and gruesome as Aladdin finds himself at a great disadvantage to a wizard and the mantis queen, so he turns to his old friend Sinbad. Down, but not out, our hero still has a magical ace up his sleeve to settle the score. How exactly he'll recover is anybody's guess, but one thing is for sure, the end is neigh!
Excellent action, artistic technique, and drama across the visuals of each page. This issue launched off a familiar foundation toward an unexpected direction, making this tale truly unique. By land, sea, and sky, we're thrust through a crazy ride full of terror and excitement.
