While Quentin Coldwater might technically be the central focus of Lev Grossman’s book series The Magicians — as well as Syfy’s adaptation of the series — a new comic book from Boom Studios is set to explore the life of one of Brakebills’ largely unsung heroines.

We’re so close to being free from the freezing cold of winter. Spring is nearly upon us, with its budding flowers, twittering birds, and the scent of pollen in the air. We’re not scientists, but we’re pretty sure it’s scientific fact that these are the perfect conditions to read a ton of new comics in. Good thing there’s some on the way!

Power Rangers has a mixed legacy when it comes to marking anniversaries. Forever Red, Wild Force’s all-Red-Ranger special, was fine. Legendary Battle, Super Megaforce’s spectacular botching of an incredible anniversary Sentai series, was... well, not fine.

At the end of this month the show will try again, but honestly, so far the comics are giving us one hell of a 25th anniversary special.

Everyone has different ways of coping with the day-in-day-out toil of working a job, optimistically trudging toward whatever one’s version of a “weekend” is. But for many, to work often means to pour yourself into labour that doesn’t necessarily bring you any sense of joy, freedom or expression.

R.L. Stine, the master of ghoulish, goosebump-inducing kid’s horror, is making a welcome return to comics after his debut last year with the weird and sinister Man-Thing for Marvel. This time around, it’ll be a whole new series of spooky happenings, as part of a wide-sweeping new deal he has with Boom Studios.

How did the 'Verse in Firefly get the way it was? Fans will find out this November when Boom Studios launches a new comic book series set before the events of the show, during the Unification War.

Since it first began, Boom Studios' excellent Power Rangers series has been masterminded by writer Kyle Higgins - but that's about to change. A new creative team is on the way, and the currently-ongoing Ranger mashup event that is Shattered Grid means that some unfamiliar faces are going to be the new Power Rangers for a while.

Close your eyes for a moment and try to imagine the apocalypse. What's it like? Would you survive? Often, when we think about the end times, we envision desolate landscapes devoid of all life, and destabilised communities that are constantly at war for whatever scant resources are left.

Merry Free Comic Book Day, comics fans! Yes, the most wonderful time of the year for receiving wonderful free comics is here. FCBD 2018 is jam-packed with a ton of wonderful (and did we mention, free?) books for you to pick up, so here's a selection of what's on offer.

San Diego Comic-Con is just months away, which means that the Eisners - some of the most prestigious awards in comics - are close, too. The full list of nominees has been revealed today, and unsurprisingly, it's jam-packed with some damn good comics for you to read (or re-read).

Despite the fact that they all come from worlds where teams of superheroes save the multiverse on a daily basis, most of the heroes in comic books baulk when they realise that their only hope of surviving the arcs of their own stories is - wait for it - working with other people.

Boom Studio's first major event for its Power Rangers comic, Shattered Grid, has been promising to unite 25 years worth of Ranger teams into one big adventure. That said, it seems not every Ranger team will be making it to that team-up in one piece. Or many pieces, really.

This week, Boom Studios' Power Rangers comics are uniting Rangers from across 25 years of dramatically flipping away from giant pyrotechnics for the line's first major crossover event. To celebrate, the original Green Ranger himself has donned the spandex once more... but not to play the Tommy Oliver you remember.

The original Planet of the Apes is an all-time classic, but the beloved movie wasn't the first crack at bringing Pierre Boulle's work to the big screen. Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling wrote an early draft for the screenplay, featuring a ton of moments that never made it into the final film. And now, his story is being used as the basis for a new comic.

When you're a regular reader of a comic, you're always somewhat prepared to process whatever's about to happen in it. Forging that kind of relationship is a challenge that all new series with new characters have to face, and some comics handle it better than others. With that in mind, we've selected three new titles out this week that meet this challenge head-on - and have the potential to become your favourite new series.

After a few years away, Boom Studios is bringing the world's most beloved cyborg cop back into action with a brand new miniseries. But this time, RoboCop finds himself in a weird dystopian future: One where law enforcement isn't performed by cops, Robo or otherwise, but private citizens.

A new year is upon us, filled with new opportunities and new hopes ... and lots of new comics for you read instead of fulfilling those new opportunities and hopes. Unless they were "read more comics," because boy howdy, do we have some new series we're looking forward to in the first few months of the year to show you!

Free Comic Book Day might be five months away, but you can already start preparing for all the free comics you'll be able to read right now. Yesterday, we got the official announcement of the top tier of free books that will be available to celebrate comic book nerd Christmas in May.

They have battled on alternate worlds, explored their earliest days as Teens with Attitude, and even fought the Justice League, but the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' next major comic adventure is an anniversary spectacular: One where 25 years of rangers unite to face a threat against them all.
