James Tynion IV's WYND #1 to Release in June Instead of November
Several months ago, we got a sneak peek at the next limited series comic from James Tynion IV, Wynd. The series looks to be a lot of fantasy fun and was planned for a November 2020 release. Now, BOOM! Studios has announced that Wynd #1 will launch on June 17! In addition, each issue of Wynd will feature more than 40 pages! What!? That’s a lot of comic to read.
WYND introduces readers to a world where magical heritage is punishable by death, so a young boy named Wynd must keep his true identity – and pointy ears – a secret from everyone in Pipetown, even if it means he’ll never have the normal life he wants. But when his secret is threatened, Wynd is forced to leave his home behind to embark on a dangerous quest that will put him at the heart of a royal conspiracy beyond his imagination.
Now on the run with the boy of his dreams, his best friend Oakley, and a literal prince, Wynd will have to embrace the magic within himself if he wants to save them from the shocking dangers that await!
Tynion IV released the following statement:
I’ve always been an impatient person. I think I might have willed this into existence last week, looking over the final pages of what was the WYND original graphic novel, wishing that people didn’t have to wait until November to see them. WYND is my dream project, the one that i’ve been working on intermittently since I was in High School. Seeing it come to life with Michael’s art has been one of the greatest pleasures of the last year, and the idea that we’re going to get to bring it into the world in glorious oversized issues starting this summer is deeply exciting to me. We’re really proud of this one.
Wynd is written by Tynion IV and features art by Michael Dialynas and letters by Aditya Bidikar. Dialynas added his excitement for the date change in the following statement:
Just when I got my brain around the fact that people wouldn't be able to read WYND Book One until November, BOOM! (pun intended) we suddenly get to share our series with you in a new and fun way next month! It's been a blast creating the magical world of Esseriel with James and it has been a joy to work with Eric and the whole team again. I'm super proud and excited for you all to read WYND, just before we start planning out the next book in the series. Stay safe and read comics!
Fans will be able to grab physical copies of Wynd #1 on June 17 with digital copies being made available through a variety of retailers including comiXology, Google Play, iBooks, and Madefire.
