Following up on news that came out of Awesome Con back in June, Legendary Comics is teaming up with LINE Webtoon, to develop new digital comic titles exclusively for the LINE Webtoon platform. The partnership kicks off with a sneak peek at the first three chapters of new series Firebrand: The Initiation of Natali Presano, created by Nerdist's host Jessica Chobot and author Erika Lewis.

Written by Chobot and Lewis, with artwork by Claudia Aguirre, Firebrand follows willful witch Natali Presano. Natali never fit into her father's perfectly human world: politically ambitious, he turned his back on her just when she needed him most. Having lost her mother to tragedy as a young child, Natali flees the safety of home into the arms of her aunt Selena, the mysterious guardian of a magical order waging a centuries-old war for survival in the mountains of Spain. Natali, now in her 20s, has followed in her aunt's footsteps, becoming a powerful but rebellious witch in her own right. Returning to Seattle, she finds herself caught between a cruel modern world and the ancient evil threatening to destroy it.

"Firebrand is my first foray into developing my own comic series and I could not be more excited to share what Erika and I have created with LINE Webtoon's millions of readers," said co-creator and co-writer Jessica Chobot. Erika Lewis added, "Natali is a very special character and I think readers are going to love joining her on her journey to discover her full power."

Readers can check out the first three chapters of Firebrand: The Initiation of Natali Presano exclusively on LINE Webtoon here, with new chapters debuting in January.
