Seanan McGuire Writes Magic: Nahiri the Lithomancer Special at BOOM

Explosive publisher BOOM! Studios announced a new Magic: The Gathering comic book special hitting stores in November, Magic: Nahiri the Lithomancer #1, by Seanan McGuire and Fabiana Mascolo. The announcement begs the question: what the heck is a lithomancer? We're assuming based on the cover that lithomancy is a form of magic performed by a grunge chick reciting the words to the hit 1991 song by Nirvana, Lithium. But admittedly, you could probably stand to look it up in the dictionary.

In any case, a press release from BOOM! provides both more details and a lazy way to pad the word count of this article:

BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), with Wizards of the Coast LLC, announced today MAGIC: NAHIRI THE LITHOMANCER #1, a special one-shot issue from Nebula, Hugo, Locus, and Alex Award-winning novelist Seanan McGuire (Ghost-Spider) returning to the world of Magic: The Gathering with artist Fabiana Mascolo (Firefly, Cyberpunk 2077: Blackout), to bring Nahiri the Lithomancer to comics this November!

Nahiri–also known as The Harbinger–has protected her home plane of Zendikar for centuries, her ruthlessness and terrible deeds kept in check by a strong sense of justice. But her fate is far from decided, and a new challenge awaits that may change the way the entire Multiverse perceives her…

MAGIC: NAHIRI THE LITHOMANCER #1 features main cover art by artist Ariel Olivetti (Conan), and a variant cover by artist Suspiria Vilchez (Swamp Dogs).

The press release also featured a quote about the special by BOOM! editor Kathleen Wisneski, but Bleeding Cool has a strict "no editors" policy, which is why nobody proofread this article. So we can't post the quote here. Sorry.

But give thanks for the fact that Magic: Nahiri the Lithomancer will be in stores on November 30, 2022. Check out some covers below.

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
