Elfquest #11.3
Shadowstalker
His name is Lehrigen.
Little is known of him save that he is human, he is a bounty hunter, and his reputation as a tracker is second to none. This makes him a valuable ally to the young warlord Angrif Djun, whose obsession is to rid his land of "forest demons" - the Wolfrider elves.
Ember and her packmates discover that even they can become the hunted, instead of the hunters, as the shadowy Lehrigen outwits them at every turn. And Ember herself, the blood of chiefs running in her veins, must face the fear that her own leadership may doom the tribe!

Read on Elfquest.com for my Great Elfquest Read of 2025. I really enjoyed the Lehrigen story arc, although Scouter has finally snapped and lost his dang mind. It's believable though, because he's been building up to be pretty full of himself and set in his opinions. Also, I hate how he says "oh I have to save my lifemate and my cub!!" But nothing about Dewshine? Is she chopped liver now??

Taken from my group post and also covering the book Wild Hunt.

Until recently I had read very little of the EQ not drawn by Wendy Pini, and I have heard mixed opinions about much of it. So far I am enjoying myself though. I read through the Shards storyline, a major chapter in EQ and then moved onto the Wild Hunt storyline following the continuing adventures of chieftess Ember.
The first half (or the book Wild Hunt) concerning a "seamonster" left by Winnowill and worshipped by the nearby humans, along with other events, is not quite as coherent a story as the second half, but has some great character moments, particularly with the Troll siblings Drub and Flam, who are now two of my favorite characters.
The 2nd half (or the book Shadowstalker) was especially interesting to reading after learning of Lehrigan's fate at the beginning of Final Quest. Possibly the most interesting human character in all of ElfQuest, and the conclusion involving him and Ember was very interesting.
The art may not be as flawless or consistent as Wendy Pini's (hard for anyone to do), but still looks rather nice. Steve Blevin's artwork was prettier, but the strength of Lorraine Reyes was in conveying action and emotion.
SPOILER: I was legitimately surprised when Scout challenged Ember AND WON. Though I have read a lot of EQ that takes place after this I was either unaware or had forgotten that it happened. A very interesting turn of events that took Scouter's character in an unexpected direction.
