About the series
Matt Wagner's Mage: The Hero Discovered receives a fresh spotlight in this 2010 Image Firsts one-shot, re-presenting the first issue of his landmark fantasy series. A single-issue sampler rather than an ongoing run, it offers new readers an entry point into Wagner's intricately crafted world of modern myth and personal heroism. As both writer and artist, Wagner brings a singular, deeply personal vision to this story of an everyman discovering his supernatural legacy. This reissue underscores the enduring significance of Mage as a foundational work of creator-owned comics, showcasing the passion and artistry that defined Image's early years.
