About the series
In 2018, Image Comics launched Image Firsts: Curse Words, a single-issue reprint designed to introduce new readers to the acclaimed series by writer Charles Soule and artist Ryan Browne. This standalone issue collects the debut chapter of a story where a mysterious wizard from another world arrives in New York City, wielding dark magic for personal gain—only to find his cynical plans complicated by the city and its inhabitants. As a gateway to the larger Curse Words saga, this issue showcases the creators' inventive blend of high-concept fantasy and sharp, character-driven humor, making it an essential starting point for the series' signature mix of spectacle and wit.
