CHARISMAGIC #2
Vince Hernandez – Story / Khary Randolph – Art / Emilio Lopez – Colors
Everything you thought you knew about magic will…
Vanish.
Journey into a world where the lines between magic and reality are blurred…And where one man will soon find himself as the last remaining hope for all mankind.
Following the final, shocking moments of issue one, Las Vegas magician Hank Medley, along with his cat Sparkles, find themselves more alone than they could have possibly ever imagined. And even under these cataclysmic circumstances, Vegas is no less sinful, as the world of magic begins to erupt around Hank–with terrifyingly fatal results. Plus, Sudana, realizing she’s too late to stop Samsun’s return into our realm, instead finds herself on a hurried mission to contact the only being who may be powerful enough to force Samsun back into the Void Realm!
Created and written by Aspen’s own Vince Hernandez, with stunning art by Khary Randolph and Emilio Lopez, make sure to open your eyes to the exciting new world of CHARISMAGIC!
