Aspen Comics has revealed more info on their fourth release
in their successful “10 for 10” anniversary initiative that has been met with
both critical and commercial success, with both issue #1’s of their first two
releases, Legend of the Shadow Clan
and Shrugged, exceeding 30,000
copies. For their fourth release on May 1st, the week of Free Comic
Book Day, Aspen will be offering the return of the acclaimed magical series Charismagic, by creator and writer Vince
Hernandez (Executive Assistant: Assassins,
Fathom: Kiani) with art by Vincenzo
Cucca (She-Hulk) and Emilio Lopez (Charismagic: The Death Princess). The
solicitation for the all-new Charismagic
reads:
Magician Hank Medley thought he had everything figured out.
After saving the world from an ancient, ruinous evil, with the help of a Druid
named Sudana and his magical talking cat Sparkles, Hank discovers the true
nature of dark magic has arrived in his own realm—our world! Now, the trio must
attempt to put an end to catastrophic events that will threaten to tear Earth
apart under the weight of such a menace. Featuring a returning cast of Charismagic’s favorite characters along
with several new and astonishing faces and creatures of magic, this new volume of
CHARISMAGIC
is a perfect jumping-on point for all!
Hernandez discusses the new series:
“We’re really excited to bring Charismagic back for more fun, and we have really upped the stakes
on the story to match the fans’ tremendous support for the first volume. And to
top it all off, the book will debut in stores on Free Comic Book Day week so
it’s the perfect time for new readers to jump in and experience this magical
adventure! With Vincenzo coming onboard and combining his amazing artistic
talents with Emilio’s colors and design work, this new volume already looks
truly amazing. I’m certain fans will agree once they see the finished product.
They are once again in for a visual feast like only this book can provide!”
The all-new volume of Charismagic
will be written by Hernandez and will pair acclaimed international artist
Vincenzo Cucca with returning, veteran colorist Emilio Lopez. Original series
artist Khary Randolph will continue to deliver character designs and cover work
for the series as well.
