Magic: The Gathering Signing

I’ll be in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this Sunday around 1 PM to sign Magic: The Gathering comics (and anything else I’ve worked not) at the GrandLAN Gaming Center. This is the first time I’ve done a signing for this series, so stop on by and say hi if you’re around!

Magic #1 Reviews

Magic: The Gathering #1 came out on Wednesday, and the reviews are streaming in. Most people seem to like it a lot. Here are details from a few of the kinder reviews. CNN’s Geek Out! made the book its pick of the week. If you’re looking for something new this week, or just want to dip your toe in and …

Magic #1 Out Today!

The first issue of the Magic: The Gathering comic book I’m writing for IDW hits stores today. Be sure to hustle down to your local comic shop to grab yourself a copy, which comes with a playable, alternate-art card for the bestselling Magic: The Gathering collectible card game, on which the comic is based.

Magic Pushed Back

As ICv2.com reports today, the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing for IDW has been pushed back about five weeks. Rather than having the first issue ship on December 28, it’s now slated to be in stores on February 1. The given reason is “unforeseen printing challenges.” Creatively, I’ve had a great time working on the series. I’ve seen proofs …

Magic #2 Card, #3 Cover

IDW recently released new images for the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing. First, here’s the exclusive card that will come with issue #2: “Faithless Looting.” It features the main cover art from the same issue – by the incredible Karl Kopinski – but one of the cool things about it is that the card’s rules haven’t appeared anywhere yet. …

More Magic Covers

Magic #1 Cover B

I just spotted one of the alternate covers for the first issue of the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing for IDW. This one’s by the talented Eric Deschamps, and it depicts the hero of the tale – Dack Fayden – relieving a young lady of something valuable. Knowing him, it’s probably magical too. The book’s scheduled to ship in December, …

Magic #1 Solicitation

Yesterday, IDW released its solicitations for its comics coming out in December. Among many other amazing things, this contained more details on the first issue of the Magic: The Gathering comic book I’m writing for them.

The Magic Comic

Earlier today, IDW announced that it is publishing a brand-new series of comic books based on Magic: The Gathering, the original, bestselling collectible card game from Wizards of the Coast. It’s being illustrated by the fantastic Martin Cóccolo, and the excellent Denton Tipton is editing it. Most amazing of all is that I’m writing it. This is the first comic …
