Skybound/Image Comics will publish a comic series based on the Summoners War game from the South Korean company Come2uS.  The deal was first announced in 2017 (see "Robert Kirkman and Skybound ‘Summon’ Partnership"), and the series will launch with a convention exclusive comic to be published in September 2020.

The new series was announced at Skybound Xpo, an online event that took place on July 18 and 19.  Titled Summoners War: Legacy, it will be a prequel to the events of the game and is set 35 years before the game’s central conflict.  The comics will also draw new connections between future Summoners War games and the classic Summoners War: Sky Arena game.  The creative team for the series will be writer Justin Jordan, artist Luca Claretti, colorist Giovanna Niro, and letterer Deron Bennett.

While no details are available yet on the full series, the "con exclusive" issue #1 will be a special issue with 32 pages of story and 7 pages of extras.  There will be two variant gold foil covers, one featuring the heroes of the game and the other spotlighting the villains, as well as a voucher for 200 Gems and three Scrolls, redeemable in-game.  The special issue will retail for $10.00 and will be available in mid-September.
