The press release from Skybound also included the following quotes from writer Justin Jordan and artist Luca Claretti.
"“Summoners War has created a great world, and it’s been amazing fun to grow that world,” said Jordan. “Legacy is a really fun book that will explore places the game has yet to go, and I think it’s a damn good adventure too. Luca and Gio have done amazing work with the art, and I can’t wait for people to see the book.”Claretti added: “The thing that excited me the most about working on this project, is that even though there was a world already very characterized, deep and alive, I still had great freedom to explore and create ‘our’ vision of the world of Summoners War. And that’s not necessarily what you’d expect in this kind of project.”"
Fans can expect to see this amazing new series hit the shelves of comics stores everywhere on April 28th of this year.
Summoners War: Legacy #1 (Diamond Code FEB210054) will also be available on many online platforms. However, if you want to collect the raw comic form be sure to call up your local comic book store to get it added to your pull list ahead of time, in case of a quick sell out.
