[/vc_column_text][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and in partnership with Wizards of the Coast LLC, has announced today that MAGIC #1, the premiere issue of the new original comic book series from acclaimed writer Jed MacKay (Marvel’s Black Cat), artist Ig Guara (Marvel’s Ghost-Spider), colorist Arianna Consonni, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, perfect for new readers and long-time fans, has sold out at the distributor level!
In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced MAGIC #1 SECOND PRINTING, featuring brand new cover art by superstar series artist Ig Guara with colors by Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future) and available in stores April 28, 2021.
Across the vast Multiverse, those gifted with a “spark” can tap into the raw power of Magic and travel across realms — they are Planeswalkers. When coordinated assassination attempts on Guildmasters Ral Zarek, Vraska, and Kaya rock the city of Ravnica and leave Jace Beleren’s life hanging in the balance, a fuse is lit that threatens not just these three Guilds, but the entire plane of Ravnica. Now these three must covertly infiltrate the wild plane of Zendikar and form a tenuous alliance to uncover why the targets of the assassins have all been Planeswalkers. . . which will lead them straight to one of the most enigmatic characters in Magic history!
“Record-setting sales of MAGIC #1 have absolutely blown us away with another historic launch this year,” said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Sales, BOOM! Studios. “We are so excited for even more fans to dive into this epic Multiverse of MAGIC expertly crafted by Jed, Ig, Arianna, and Ed!”
