Marvel and ABC have partnered to release a Once Upon a Time graphic novel featuring the Huntsman, Red, and the Evil Queen. Take a sneak peek at the story here!

The Once Upon a Time universe is expanding, not just with the Wonderland spinoff series, but with a new Huntsman-centric graphic novel set in the fairytale land that was.

In Once Upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen, the Evil Queen has, quite literally, captured the Huntsman’s heart – and now he’s her slave. The graphic novel will dive into their twisted relationship, and explore what happens when a good man is forced to do bad.

On his travels, the Huntsman will meet up with Little Red Riding Hood – a development which should please Little Red fans even more now that Meghan Ory has announced that she will not return for Once Upon a Time season 3.

The graphic novel won’t be released until September 3, 2013, but these three preview panels have been released (click on images for bigger versions):

You see here the work of one of the novel’s chief graphic artists, Mike Del Mundo. Nimit Malavia, Mike Henderson, Michael Kaluta and Vasilis Lolos have also worked on illustrating the story, which was created by Once Upon a Time writer & producer Daniel T. Thomsen and Corinna Beckho.

Read the official description released for the Once Upon a Time graphic novel:

When Regina cooks up yet another devious plan to capture Snow White – this time by allying with a pack of power-hungry werewolves – the Huntsman comes face-to-face with his past – and an independent spirit in Red Riding Hood that just may match his own. Can these two break free of the forces that bind them and save Snow White? When put to the test, where will the Huntsman’s loyalties lie? Has the Evil Queen stolen his heart in more ways than one?

Once Upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen can be pre-ordered on Amazon now.
