By John Layman & Noah Salonga. Taking place some time after the series finale of Xena: Warrior Princess and before the events of the 'Contest of Pantheons,' Dark Xena finds Gabriele making a request of the Gods and learning that you must be very, very careful what you wish for, and how you wish for it! Xena is Dead, Long Live Xena... er... Dark Xena that is. And by 'Dark' we mean just plain evil, mean and nasty! Also included is the Xena Annual, by writer Keith Champagne and artist Noah Salonga!
