Dark Horse Announces New Magic: The Gathering Comic

Dark Horse has announced their newest Magic: The Gathering comic. 

After the launch of Dark Horse’s Elspeth comic, Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories- Jace has been revealed. It has an amazing all-star creative team, including:

• Writer: Michael Conrad (Plague House, Neptune)
• Artist: Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer: Reborn, Living Hell)
• Colorist: Alex Guimarães (Adventures of Superman: Book of El, Storm)
• Letterer: Clayton Cowles (Helen of Wyndhorn, FML)

The book’s description reads: 

“Jace Beleren is the most talented mind mage in the Multiverse. A master of telepathy, illusion, and memory distortion, Jace’s heroic feats are tainted by a duplicitous past that threatens to unravel him at any given moment.

Dive deep into Jace’s lost memories to uncover the manipulation by his mentor, Tezzeret, in pursuit of a dangerous magical artifact with the potential to reshape or destroy the Multiverse as we know it.” 

Michael Conrad, who is the writer of the book, had this to say about it: 

“Jace is the kind of character that has haunted me for years, he’s that good looking guy that makes me throw my cards in the bin and extend my hand begrudgingly to the dreaded blue player who just ended my game. Beyond that the lore surrounding him has captured my imagination, and has refused to let go. I identify with Jace in that I don’t entirely trust my own memories and perceptions of the world, this has made approaching an at times aggravating character a bit therapeutic. I mean, if Jace can cope with having his mind messed with by everything from an ancient sphinx to someone he once deeply admired, surely I can unpack some of my own, far more pedestrian trauma… In this way it has been a cathartic experience to spend time in his troubled mind.” 

Issue 1 of this 4 issue mini-series releases on Feburary 4th, and is available for pre-order right now.
