Soulfire is a comic book produced by Aspen MLT that is one in a line of titles created by Michael Turner. The original characters were created from 2000 to 2002 with Soulfire (originally named "Dragonfly") set to be produced under the Top Cow company but never did. Only when Michael Turner started his company Aspen MLT, did the comic come into production in April 2003.
The Soulfire preview issue was first printed in Wizard magazine #139 in March 2003. The preview introduced the two central protagonists of the story, Malikai and Grace.

[edit] Story
Soulfire is a comic book that is centered around the idea of "magic" being gone in the world in the future (2211 AD). The comic includes characters such as heroes, fairies, dragons, and warriors. There are issues out in circulation at this time.
[edit] Soulfire: Dying of the Light
A related comic limited series that sets the stage for the Soulfire series it spun out of. It takes place in the end of the last era of magic where a disease is killing magical beings and parts of magic (such as the wings so many rely on in this era to fly with).
[edit] Soulfire: Chaos Reign
An upcoming Soulfire limited series. It will take place in primal times of the Soulfire universe, back when magic was still raw and untapped. It will also lead into the second volume of Soulfire, to be released in summer 2006. This is the second such series to spin out of the Soulfire limited series.
[edit] Soulfire: Volume 2
While Soulfire is a limited series of 11 issues, it will not end there. After Chaos Reign finishes, Soulfire will continue with a second volume. It has been confirmed at the Pittsburgh Comic Convention that the artist for volume 2 will be Fransisco Hererra, an artist who has drawn comics for Marvel and others in the past. The same writing team of Michael Turner and J.T. Krul will return.
