Elfquest #11.2
Wild Hunt
This volume reprints new material from the Elfquest anthology comic book series, and collects the starting stories of a brand new adventure. Ember's splinter tribe of Wolfriders, now settled in their new land at Howling Rock Holt, begin to discover that their world is growing smaller. Human civilization, so primitive and scattered during the time of the original Quest (as told in Reader's Collection volumes 1-8), is progressing and expanding. Ember's tribe faces the suspicion and hatred not only of superstitious townspeople, but also the enmity of a feudal warlord, son of the tyrant that Ember's father defeated years earlier.

Read on Elfquest.com for my Great Elfquest Read of 2025.
The stories about Grohmul Djun's kids are.... OK. The artwork isn't great, which is one of the reasons I didn't get too into this storyline when it came out in the anthology issues.

Taken from my group post and also covering the following book Shadowstalker.

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.
SPOILERS for Shadowstalker!
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.

I love the return to more tribal and interrelationship concerns that comes about with Embers Tribe Sequences and its also great to see her come into her own when for so much of the book she is a beloved but background character.
The Shards sequences were a definite deviation from the tone that was set in the Original Quest and while I still enjoyed it, I missed the more earthly elf concerns which the Embers Tribe sequences brings back. My only major bone is the artwork since its not done by Wendy herself, whose artwork is simply magical and what truly drew me to the series to begin with. The artwork in this book is actually pretty good, the first half is very close to Wendys style of drawing and the second half, though not in Wendys style is still very clear and the character of the elves comes through.

loved the art, and the story rolled along pleasantly.
