Filip Sablik of Boom! Studios too the stage at ComicsPRO in Portland yesterday (photo by Calum Johnston) to launch Power Up, a new comic book from Kate Leth and Matt Cummings.

Kate is best known as a webcomic comics creator, who has been working on Adventure Time-related comics for Boom! which got the attention for a number of industry folk. She writes Edward Scissorhands for IDW, as well as working on Fraggle Rock and The Legend Of Luther Strode. But Power Up will be her first original comic for print. And Matt Cummings' work has also been seen at Boom on Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe and Bravest Warriors.

On Tumblr, Kate says,

HI GUYS, MATT AND I ARE DOING AN ORIGINAL MAGICAL TEAM SERIES STARTING IN JULY.

My first original series and Matt Cummings' amazing, amazing art! I'm so excited to be working with him and making this crazy project a reality. It's going to be so cute, weird, funny and emotional (of course). I'm REALLY excited.

POWERRRRRR UP!

The Mary Sue has a better look at the art, and some explanatory quotes from Kate.

Power Up is the story of three people and one goldfish who find themselves unexpectedly bestowed in a blinding flash with incredible, superheroic powers. Having no guidance, no mysterious watcher or ancient text to tell them what it all means or how to use their new abilities, the unlikely team is drawn together and forced to figure it out in a hurry as mysterious forces begin to attack.

Our series deals with the notion of Chosen Ones being chosen… wrong.
