Forgotten Runes: Wizard's Cult - by Joe Rechtman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Explore the Runiverse in the comic book debut of the Forgotten Runes Wizards! Perfect for fans of lighthearted, original fantasy stories set in a unique living universe!

What begins as a seemingly unconnected series of fantastic tales about disparate wizards - Archmagus Crowley of Atlantis, who has been hired to steal a treasure chest from a ship in the middle of the ocean; Mystic Willow of the Brambles who's dealing with her own drama, as the humans in a nearby village wrongfully accuse her of abducting children; Alchemist Danny of the Fey's apprentice begins to suspect her master has been kidnapped and replaced with an imposter - gradually merges into a much larger, and more terrifying tale.

Who is Chronomancer George of Dreams, the mysterious narrator guiding us through each amazing story? Are they visions of the past, premonitions of the future, or something far more sinister that threatens the very fabric of the Runiverse itself?

Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult collects issues 1-4 of the comic of the same name.
