It’s “A Place Like Home” as Canto returns at Dark Horse

Posted on by

The fan-favorite fantasy comic series from Eisner- and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer David M. Booher and beloved artist Drew Zucker resumes with the launch of new mini-series, Canto: A Place Like Home. Readers can continue the story of the tiny clockwork hero Canto as the showdown with the Shrouded Man nears its climax. Featuring longtime Canto colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer Andworld Design, the miniseries will present collectors with a main cover by Zucker, as well as a star-studded selection of variant covers by artists including Lisa Heidhoff, David Mack, and series writer David M. Booher.

Canto, the tiny clockwork knight, returns after making the ultimate choice to save his people. Allies have gathered to stand against the Shrouded Man in all-out war, but even an army may not be enough to stop this conquering sorcerer’s evil from taking over everything Canto holds dear. New Arcana is a home worth fighting for, it may not be easy but nothing ever is for the brave Canto!

Prepare for battle when Canto: A Place Like Home #1 (of 6) squares up at your local comic shop on June 5, 2024 for $3.99. Pre-order today.

Continue the quest for love, freedom, and hope with Canto volumes 3 and 4

Posted on by

New hardcover editions from Dark Horse Comics reprinting the beloved Canto series will continue with Canto Volume 3: Tales of The Unnamed World and Canto Volume 4: Lionhearted. For volume 3, series co-creators David M. Booher, Drew Zucker, and colorist Vittorio Astone, are joined by Sebastián Píriz, Liana Kangas, Jorge Corona, and Shawn Daley, with letters by Andworld Design, for a swashbuckling chapter of Canto’s “striking modern fairy tale.” Continue the series, and prepare for much more to come when Canto Volumes 3 and 4 come to stores in 2024.

Bridging the story between The Hollow Men and Lionhearted, Canto Volume 3 collects Canto and the City of Giants and both issues of Canto: Tales of the Unnamed World. Canto Volume 3: Tales of The Unnamed World finds Canto, still on the mend following his first confrontation with the Shrouded Man, searching for allies to stand by his side in their inevitable final battle. And what better allies could one ask for than the fearsome Giants? But to earn their allegiance, he’ll need to solve the Labyrinth outside their city and slay the monster that lurks at its heart! Then, Canto and his friends must cross a bridge guarded by a mysterious bard. The price to pass? A story never heard in all the world!

Then, in Canto Volume 4: Lionhearted, after making the ultimate sacrifice, Canto bears a weapon that could defeat the Shrouded Man and free all the inhabitants of the Unnamed World. He races to find the hidden settlement of his former slavers to enlist them as allies in the coming war. That is, if the Shrouded Man doesn’t find them first.

Canto Volume 3: Tales of the Unnamed World (Canto and the City of Giants), spanning 144 pages and measuring 6.625” x 10.1875”, arrives in a hardcover edition with extra sketches and in process pieces in bookstores on July 30, 2024 and comic shops July 31, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop, bookstore, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble for $29.99. 

Canto Volume 4: Lionhearted, spanning 160 pages and measuring 6.625” x 10.1875”, arrives with a flurry of behind the scenes extras in a hardcover edition in bookstores on August 27, 2024 and comic shops August 28, 2024. Pre-order at your local comic shop, bookstore, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble for $29.99.
