Contains spoilers for BOOM! Studios' "Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1 comic.

The world of "Magic: The Gathering" gathers some familiar Planeswalkers to team up in a brand-new one-shot comic, "Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1. Created by Cullen Bunn ("Harrow County") with writer Rich Douek ("Sea of Sorrows), artists French Carlomagno ("Firefly: Brand New 'Verse") and Carlos Pedro ("Elephantmen"), colorists Mattia Iacono ("The Dead Lucky") and Arianna Consonni ("Magic Planeswalkers: Noble"), and letterer Ed Dukeshire ("Usher Down"), "Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1 focuses on Sorin Markov and Liliana Vess' adventure. In the 40-page comic, the vampire and necromancer must work together on an unnamed plane to stop the emergence of a significant threat. Meanwhile, another story in the issue will focus on Oko and Calix meeting on a different plane. 

The upcoming one-shot is the latest story from BOOM! Studios' line of "Magic: The Gathering" comics, following Jed MacKay, Ig Guara, and Consonni's 25-issue run of "Magic." Since its conclusion, there have been multiple one-shots exploring the different sides of the Magic universe, with the most recent being June's "Magic Planeswalkers: Noble" from Stephanie Williams, Daniel Warren, Dave Rapoza, Albert Locatelli, Lee Caballero, Raul Angulo, and Consonni. Looper is pleased to share with our readers an exclusive preview of "Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1.

"Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1 opens on an unknown plane. Calix's search for Elspeth Tirel leads him into direct conflict with Oko. A post-magical fight conversation leads Calix to reveal why he's searching for Tirel, where he reveals their complicated history. 

"Magic Planeswalkers: Notorious" #1 will feature a cover from Jahnoy Lindsay ("Superboy Man of Tomorrow"), a variant connecting cover from Frany ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), and an additional cover from Justine Florentino ("Grim").
