About the series
In this charmingly relatable fantasy from Yen Press, a woman in her forties discovers she has magical abilities, upending her settled suburban life. Written and illustrated by Jennie Wood and Ben Fleuter, the 2025 series explores the premise of discovering new powers—and new adventures—later in life. Though only two issues in, Magical Midlifer offers a fresh, grounded take on the magic-girl genre, centering the experience of a protagonist who is neither a teen nor a young adult.
