There is so much to know about Magic the Gathering lore, making it a good fit for a comic book series. In fact, there have been comics under the Magic the Gathering umbrella before, published by IDW back in 2012. But now a new series is set to start in April of 2021.

Publisher BOOM Studios!, who worked on a Mega Man comic series, will be working on an ongoing monthly comic series simply titled Magic. The team behind Magic will include writer Jed MacKay (who has worked on Black Cat), artist Ig Guara (known for Ghost-Spider), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Harvey nominated and known for Ghostbusters).
As far as what the comic book will tackle in terms of story, it looks to pick up in the realm of Ravnica. The massive city, which is as big as a planet itself, just saw an assassination attempt against Guildmasters Ral Zarek, Vraska, and Kaya. The characters will head to Zendikar to hunt down the assassins.
For those who perhaps are not interested in the comic book at this time, or maybe want to play the game to get a refresher on all that Magic has to offer, Magic Arena is going strong with ongoing events and content. Between the standard card collecting, the game, the upcoming comic book, and more, it is impressive to see Magic: The Gathering keep chugging along after so long.
