LOS ANGELES, CA (November 9, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 BOOM! Studios is proud to reveal a first look at\u00a0WIZARD BEACH #1<\/strong>, a new five-issue limited series available in December 2018 from writer Shaun Simon (The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys<\/em>) and artist Conor Nolan (Jim Henson\u2019s\u00a0The Storyteller: Giants<\/em>).<\/p>\n

What happens when a secret, reclusive community of mountain witches and forest wizards comes out of hiding and reveals itself to the world? A magical beach town with a boardwalk of magic shops and chill spots becomes the go-to location for those just looking to get away from it all. Enter Hexley Daggard Ragbottom, a young wizard who, against his father\u2019s wishes, escapes the solitary confines of his isolated magical community to seek out the greatest wizard of all time, his Uncle Salazar, in an attempt to get his aid in fighting the life-threatening freeze killing their people.<\/p>\n

But turns out, his Uncle \u201cSally\u201d has other plans. Namely, napping and hanging out at his boardwalk magic shop \u201cWands and Such.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo beach vacation is complete without family drama, weird boardwalk shops, and that magical feeling of being miles from all your real life worries and woes. It\u2019s just that in this case, Hex\u2019s real life is full of magical creatures and two wizarding worlds at odds,\u201d said Sierra Hahn, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

WIZARD BEACH<\/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 Joss Whedon\u2019s\u00a0Firefly<\/em>, Lev Grossman\u2019s\u00a0The Magicians, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Klaus<\/em>.<\/p>\n
