Discover The Epic New Twelve-Issue Broken Fantasy Series in May 2018<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios is proud to announce\u00a0CODA<\/strong>, a new twelve-issue series from Eisner-nominated writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, Godshaper<\/em>) and Mat\u00edas Bergara (Cannibal, Supergirl<\/em>). In the aftermath of an apocalypse which wiped out nearly all magic from a once-wondrous fantasy world, an antisocial former bard named Hum seeks a way to save the soul of his wife with nothing but a foul-tempered mutant unicorn and his wits to protect him…but is unwillingly drawn into a brutal power struggle which will decide forever who rules the weird wasteland.<\/p>\n

CODA #1<\/strong>\u00a0will be an oversized debut issue, with 40 pages of story content and additional backmatter at the same $3.99 price point as each issue of this twelve-issue series. This first issue also features a stunning wraparound main cover by Mat\u00edas Bergara, along with variants by superstars Jae Lee (Superman\/Batman, Uncanny X-Men<\/em>) and Jeff Stokely (The Spire, Six-Gun Gorilla<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u201cCODA<\/strong>\u00a0is the sort of post-apocalyptic story which thumbs its nose at miserable grimhook sensibilities and launches itself, cackling, into fields of weird growth and springtime ideas,\u201d said Simon Spurrier. \u201cIt’s the sort of relentless kaleidoscope of visual wonders and worries that only Mat\u00edas could provide. Yes, it’s a survivalist story. Yes, it’s about saddle bandits and dragon-corpses and endless wasteland chases with hexed steeds and pedigree ogres instead of cars. Yes, it’s about a curmudgeonly loner trying to find his lost love, with only a foul tempered mutant pentacorn to keep him company. But most of all it’s about making the most of the morning after the night before, and knowing that with every death — in this case the mercy killing of the entire exhausted High Fantasy genre — comes wondrous new life.\u201d<\/p>\n

“CODA<\/strong>\u00a0is the window we’re opening for you, dear reader, to gaze into a world of strange and post-magical fantasy – a story unlike anything you and I have read before,\u201d said Mat\u00edas Bergara. \u201cMy most insane and colorful ideas are flowing out of my hands as I read what Si has been creating in his mind and I can’t wait for you to see what this is.\u201d<\/p>\n

CODA #1<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including\u00a0Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, WWE, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Klaus.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom\u00a0Six-Gun Gorilla<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0The Spire<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0Weavers<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0Godshaper<\/em>, Si has consistently delivered some of the most visceral, forward-thinking original ideas in comics, and I\u2019m thrilled to see him truly unleash on a longform series,\u201d said Eric Harburn, Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cPaired up with revelatory work from Mat\u00edas,\u00a0CODA<\/strong>\u00a0is a broken fantasy epic the likes of which the genre\u2019s never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0CODA #1<\/strong>\u00a0will be available for sale in May 2018 at local comic book shops (use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM!
