Magnus Returns in an All-New Series

Dynamite Entertainment has announced that Magnus, the comic book series with futuristic action and cybernetic intrigue, returns with an all-new interpretation of the character courtesy of writer Kyle Higgins and artist Jorge Fornés. With a debut issue set for release in June, Magnus #1 includes a bonus Turok back-up story by Chuck Wendig and Álvaro Sarraseca, a continuation of the serial in the Magnus sister title, The Sovereigns.

The all-new Magnus takes the famous Philip K. Dick question and turns it on its side: Do humans dream of owning electric sheep? Artificial intelligences, rather than becoming our overlords, have settled into an uneasy symbiosis with humanity – they work for us as our colleagues and servants, earning vacation-time they spend in a boundless digital universe running on human-maintained server farms. But not all A.I.s are cool with the deal. Enter Magnus, a human psychologist tasked with navigating both worlds in order to bring recalcitrant AIs back into productive society…

The debut issue of Magnus features a wide selection of cover variants, providing fans and retailers with the freedom of choice! The cover artwork features the talents of Giuseppe Camuncoli, interior artist Jorge Fornés, Aaron Conley, and Daniel Warren Johnson. Five limited variant editions in “Black & White” and “Virgin Art” formats are also available as retailer incentives for comic shops that support the launch issue by achieving stocking thresholds.

Magnus #1 is slated for release in June.
