The popular customizable strategy game of dueling mages was designed by Bryan Pope and released by Arcane Wonders in 2012 (see "New Plans for 'Mage Wars'"), quickly became a hot seller, (see "'Mage Wars' Sales Accelerating"), and has had multiple expansions in only two years (see "'Mage Wars: Forged in Fire'").
Dynamite’s first release will be the prose novel Mage Wars: Nature of the Beast, written by game industry veteran Will McDermott, which will debut in January 2015. The 152-page novel has an MSRP of $12.99. Dynamite plans to release a full line of comic books, graphic novels, prose novels, prints, lithographs, and an art book.
