Simon Spurrier and Matías Bergara return with A Mischief of Magpies, a new fantasy comic set in a realm inspired by classic portal fantasy. The story centers on Mar, a character who inadvertently slips out of his mundane life into a bizarre city that functions as a machine traversing an endless ocean. This city is split between vibrant towers and shadowy depths, populated by enigmatic magpies. Spurrier emphasizes that the narrative transcends typical fantasy tropes, weaving in layers that deepen Mar's perception of his identity amidst extraordinary experiences.
"Mar has a secret. Sometimes, without warning, he falls out of the world. When he's gone, he finds himself in an extraordinary city, a city of two halves..."
"A Mischief of Magpies is a story of many layers. On the one hand it's a recognisable portal fantasy, but there's so much more going on here..."
