Magus

In the pages of Magus (2010–2011, 12 Gauge Comics), a young man discovers he is the descendant of a legendary wizard, thrust into a modern-day battle between ancient magical forces. This five-issue miniseries blends urban fantasy with coming-of-age drama, written and drawn by the creator-driven talent behind the series. It matters as a compact, self-contained story that explores the weight of legacy and the cost of power in a world where magic is both a gift and a curse.
