Magic #23

Part 3 of the "War of Fate" arc arrives in this penultimate-stretch installment from BOOM! Studios, and Miguel Mercado's cover makes an immediate impression — a skeletal, mummy-wrapped figure crackles with swirling pink-magenta energy, its jaw agape as arcane power surges through outstretched hands, while a stern, golden-horned figure looms ominously above. The visual tension between those two presences — one radiating raw, unleashed magic and one coldly observing — sets a genuinely compelling tone for whatever conflict lies within. Writers Rich Douek and Jed MacKay, with interior art by Jacques Salomon and colors by Arianna Consonni, keep the Magic: The Gathering universe feeling rich and stakes-driven as this five-part story builds toward its endgame.
