Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment will start a generational war in a new action-fantasy series from Khary Randolph (We Are Robin, Black, Tech Jacket) and Brandon Thomas (Horizon, The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury, Noble). Excellence #1 will be in stores on May 8. With Emilio Lopez on colors and Deron Bennett lettering, the entire creative team is comprised of people of color.

Excellence follows Spencer Dales, a young magician who lives in his father’s shadow but follows in his father’s footsteps to become a member of the Aegis, a secret society that works to better the lives of others -- but never themselves -- as determined by their unseen masters. Spencer’s views conflict with his father's, because the younger Dales believes the Aegis system is broken and in need of someone to change it.

Skybound is promoting the project with the pretty slick trailer below.
