The Secret is Out: Marc Silvestri Interiors in Rise of the Magi #1

The Secret is Out – Marc Silvestri Doing Interior Art on Rise of the Magi #1

Yes, you did read that correctly.  Marc Silvestri is working on the interiors for Rise of the Magi #1 with Sumeyye Kesgin. It’s been awhile since we have enjoyed that much Silvestri art in a single issue of any book, let alone a brand new series by none other than… Marc Silvestri.

After seeing the wonderful interiors that Sumeyye brought to us in Rise of the Magi #0 (the FCBD prelude book for this new series, I can’t wait to see what these two bring to us as a team with issue #1.  It is shaping up to be a most magical issue.

Not only is the secret out, even Marc has heard the news (if one is to believe this post Marc made on Facebook):

Can’t wait for the book to get your first look at the interiors?  Not to worry, we have you covered with this first look at electrifying interior art by Marc Silvestri

The world as we know it is at risk because the world we don’t see—the one that makes ours possible—is on the brink of destruction. From Top Cow Productions and featuring writing and interior art by Image Comics founder and partner Marc Silvestri (THE DARKNESS, WITCHBLADE, CYBER FORCE) alongside art by Sumeyye Kesgin, comes a new ongoing fantasy adventure series.

“The unfamiliar, the uncomfortable, and the things that scare us are what make us grow as people,” said Silvestri. “It’s safe then to say that in Rise of the Magi, Asa [series protagonist] and a cast of characters both strange and familiar, will be doing a lot of growing.”

The Magi are awake and they are legion, and only seven magicians, sorcerers, thieves, and killers can stop them. But as Asa will soon find out that there truly is no honor among thieves.

The adventure begins in RISE OF THE MAGI #1 this June. Cover A with art by Marc Silvestri can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAR140483.
