Forget the latest mega-event crossover or pseudo-reboot series. The real comic news of the year is that Matt Wagner is bringing out the final volume of Mage.
Mage: The Hero Denied is coming out this summer.
For pretty much anyone who read the original in the 80s and The Hero Defined in the late 90s, that's all you need to know.
For every one else, I'm sure there'll be new collected editions of the first two series available again. Get them.
It's about Kevin Matchstick, who doesn't want to be a hero and what happens when he meets Mirth, who knows he is. I don't really want to say anything more because you should read it.
The original is one of the best comic series I've ever read. The second is close, but not quite so brilliant. It's a little more focused on the adventure and a little less personal.
I've been waiting for this for nearly 30 years.
