Are you ready for a brand new fairy-focused comic book adventure? What if I told you it was from webseries and TTRPG star Aabria Iyengar, and webcomic artist Mari Costa? And why if I told you it was coming this November from BOOM! Studios, and is titled The Fade?
“The Fade is my love letter to everyone that dreams of who they might be in a wilder, more fantastical world as a way of figuring out who they want to be in this one!” said Iyengar via press release provided to Comic Book Club. “The dream is the first step. Keep going!”
In the new series, a college freshman named Jeannie discovers a viral internet sensation called “The Fade,” which claims to send people to another world in their dreams. But when Jeannie and her friend Arno journey there, they may discover royal quests, ancient prophecies, or perhaps something way worse.
“There wasn’t really a universe where I saw a pitch for a story about a fae world with super sexy character designs and didn’t immediately get super aggressive about landing the job,” added Costa. “It aligns with my values of being very stylish and unserious at all times. Also, being about to work with THE Aabria Iyengar is just the cherry on top.”
The Fade #1 hits stores on November 6, 2024 with covers by Costa, Stephanie Han, and Veronica Fish. Check those out as well as some concept art for the series, below. And click for larger versions!
