Portal Bound #1 (Aspen Comics, 2018)

When your soul is tethered to another world, there is nowhere to hide.

Following the groundwork laid in the zero issue, the official first chapter of the Portal Bound saga begins. Elias, a typical Earth teenager, and Sybil, a fierce warrior from the parallel dimension of Havos, find their lives increasingly intertwined. Their psychic and physical link is no longer just a curiosity—it has become a target. As the villainous Emperor Atilus tightens his grip on Havos, he turns his sights toward the portal that leads to Earth, putting Elias and everything he knows in the crosshairs of an interdimensional invasion.

Mark Roslan and Gabe Carrasco ramp up the tension as the two protagonists finally begin to understand the mechanics of their connection. Alex Samery’s artwork continues to shine, providing a distinct visual language for both the grounded reality of Earth and the vibrant, dangerous landscapes of Havos.
