The press release follows:
Media Release -- BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and in partnership with Wizards of the Coast LLC, revealed today a first look at MAGIC #6, the latest issue of the original comic book series from acclaimed writer Jed MacKay (Marvel's Black Cat), artists French Carlomagno (Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) and Ig Guara (Marvel's Ghost-Spider), colorists Francesco Segala (Firefly) and Arianna Consonni (Arancia Studios), and letterer Ed Dukeshire (Once & Future), perfect for new readers and long time fans, available in September 2021.
How does the ancient past hold the key to the future of the entire Multiverse? Ral, Vraska, and Kaya have finally tracked down the being that can help them unravel the true nature of the threat they face – Jaya Ballard, one of the oldest living, and most experienced, Planeswalkers in existence. And the key to understanding lies in Jaya's origins during the Age of Ice in Dominaria… and a threat that was neutralized but never truly eliminated.
