LOS ANGELES, CA (October 18, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at\u00a0THE GREAT WIZ AND THE RUCKUS<\/strong>, an all-new original graphic novel by cartoonist Joey McCormick (Adventure Time<\/em>), with colors by Whitney Cogar (Steven Universe<\/em>) and arriving in stores February 2019.<\/p>\n

Red, a blind Wiz, is tasked with gathering the Wiz\u2019s of the realm so that they can destroy the Ruckus, a great and terrible darkness that is threatening to take over the world! Red\u2019s quest brings together some of the greatest Wiz\u2019s around, Bog Wiz, Sad Dad, and Feather Duster, but they soon realize that the fate of their world will fall on the shoulders of Bean, a young Wiz who is too strong, too hot-headed, and too untested to be any real help.<\/p>\n

But even if Bean isn\u2019t quite ready to be the hero the world needs, Red must bring the young Wiz and this odd band of heroes together to save the day or the Ruckus will plunge the world into darkness!<\/p>\n
