Magic #9

The cover of this ninth issue from BOOM! Studios gathers a striking ensemble of Planeswalkers — warriors, mages, and a flame-wreathed figure with glowing goggles among them — rendered in rich, cinematic style by cover artist Qistina Khalidah. Looming above the group is a massive horned demon, lending the composition a sense of real menace bearing down on this unlikely alliance. Jed MacKay and Ig Guara's Magic continues to feel like one of the most ambitious licensed comics around, and this cover promises the kind of multiplanar drama fans of the card game will find deeply satisfying.
