Rise of the Magi

In this 2014–2015 Image Comics miniseries, writer Marc Silvestri and artists Mirka Andolfo and Sumeyye Kesgin weave a dark fantasy tale of magic reawakening in the modern world. When an ancient, otherworldly power surges back into existence, it draws a diverse cast of characters—from a streetwise thief to a reluctant scholar—into a conflict that blurs the line between myth and reality. Silvestri’s signature high-concept storytelling finds vivid, expressive life in Andolfo and Kesgin’s art, making this a brisk, visually striking exploration of magic’s cost and consequence.
