CODA #1 First Look

Winter Before Paradise in Your First Look at CODA #1

The Eisner-Nominated High-Fantasy Series from Simon Spurrier and Matías Bergara Returns!

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at CODA #1, the premiere issue of the new five-issue original series from GLAAD Media Award-winning writer Simon Spurrier (Damn Them All), Entertainment Weekly’s 2019 Artist of the Year Matías Bergara (Step By Bloody Step), color assistant Michael Doig, and letterer Jim Campbell, available in September 2023.

In this brand new adventure in the apocalyptic fantasy world of Coda, the despondent bard Hum finds a slice of tranquility with his wife, the Urken named Serka, in an ever-darkening, magic-less apocalypse – or so it seems. Prophecies of paradise and the return of magic? Hum is skeptical, while Serka faces difficult moral decisions on the road, with winter quickly approaching…

CODA #1 has a main cover by Matías Bergara, with variants by Toni Infante (We Only Find Them When They’re Dead), and Nick Dragotta (East of West).
