The fan-favorite fantasy comic series from Eisner- and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer David M. Booher and beloved artist Drew Zucker resumes with the launch of new mini-series, Canto: A Place Like Home. Readers can continue the story of the tiny clockwork hero Canto as the showdown with the Shrouded Man nears its climax. Featuring longtime Canto colorist Vittorio Astone (Heist) and letterer Andworld Design, the miniseries will present collectors with a main cover by Zucker, as well as a star-studded selection of variant covers by artists including Lisa Heidhoff, David Mack, and series writer David M. Booher.
“We’ve always known where this story was headed,” confides Zucker. “But it still feels surreal to have finally made it. When we set out on CANTO’s adventure I'm not sure we could have predicted how life changing it would be both professionally and personally. It has been a genuine pleasure to not only tell CANTO’s story, but share it with all of the readers who have come on this adventure with us. I couldn't be more excited to bring The Shrouded Man Saga to a close with our amazing creative partners and the team at Dark Horse Comics.”
Canto, the tiny clockwork knight, returns after making the ultimate choice to save his people. Allies have gathered to stand against the Shrouded Man in all-out war, but even an army may not be enough to stop this conquering sorcerer’s evil from taking over everything Canto holds dear. New Arcana is a home worth fighting for, it may not be easy but nothing ever is for the brave Canto!
“Five years of telling Canto’s story culminates here,” says Booher. “From the very start, we’ve always known how the Shrouded Man Saga would end. We never knew if we’d get there. It’s surreal and wonderful to bring this final chapter to life with Dark Horse Comics and our incredible creative team. The final battle has arrived, and you won’t predict what’s coming.”
