Misfit City Extended for Second Story Arc

The critically acclaimed Misfit City, from screenwriter Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith, co-writer Kurt Lustgarten, and artist Naomi Franquiz, kicks off its climactic second story arc in September as the hunt for Black Mary’s treasure reaches a dramatic conclusion, BOOM! Studios announced today.

Misfit City is the story of Wilder and her friends, whose hometown is where they filmed that cult kids’ adventure movie in the ’80s. Nothing ever happens there, until one day they come upon a centuries-old treasure map drawn by the infamous pirate Black Mary, launching a life-imitates-art adventure in the town they all dreamed of escaping.

Retailers, please note Misfit City #5 has an FOC date of August 28 and on-sale date of September 20. Misfit City Vol. 1, a softcover collecting the first four issues, is also available for pre-order and comes out in December.
