The creative team of writer/ co-creator Brandon Thomas (Noble, The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury, Horizon), artist/ co-creator Khary Randolph (Tech Jacket, We Are Robin, Mosaic), colorist Emilio Lopez (Batman Beyond Universe, Static Shock, The Armory Wars), and letterer Deron Bennett (Green Arrow, Skylanders, DC Universe vs. Masters of The Universe) have come together to create a new magic laced tale of action and adventure, called Excellence.

From the publisher’s (Skybound) website:

Spencer Dales was born into a world of magic. His father belongs to the Aegis, a secret society of black magicians ordered by their unseen masters to better the lives of others—of higher potential—but never themselves.

Now it’s time for Spencer to follow in his father’s footsteps, but all he sees is a broken system in need of someone with the wand and the will to change it. But in this fight for a better future…who will stand beside him?

Khary Randolph and Brandon Thomas ignite a generational war in this action- fantasy series, made entirely by creators of color, and committed to one truth above all others—Excellence is Real.

Described by Skybound SVP, Editor In Chief Sean Mackiewicz as “an action-packed comic about a secret society of magicians that channels Kendrick Lamar and Street Fighter and Black Panther (Priest AND Coogler)”, you’ve got to jump on board this series when it drops in May.

We’ll provide more details as they become available. Until then, check out this trailer.
