Studios today revealed a first look at THE FADE #1, the premiere issue from webseries and TTRPG star Aabria Iyengar (Critical Role, Dimension 20), fan favorite webcomic artist Mari Costa (Life of Melody), colorist Angel De Santiago, and letterer Jim Campbell. Readers will discover new realms and adventures in the magical coming-of-age story from the award-winning BOOM! Box imprint in November 2024.

Mirror myths take on new life in the modern age, as countless people claim to have passed into a realm called “The Fade” in their dreams via a viral internet sensation. But what awaits Jeannie and her best friend Arno on the other side? Royal quests, ancient prophecies, or something far more dangerous…?
