For quite some time now, “Magic: The Gathering” has dominated the Trading Card Game (TCG) market, and its fan base has continued to expand in recent years. Interestingly, it appears that the creators of this game are planning to broaden the “Magic: The Gathering” universe in a way we’ve never experienced before. In an exciting development, Dark Horse Comics has recently secured the rights for “Magic: The Gathering”, indicating that they will delve into the untold stories that fans have been eagerly anticipating for years.

According to IGN, the report unveils Dark Horse Comics’ initial plans for Magic: The Gathering. The publishing company is planning a four-part miniseries based on the franchise named Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Elspeth. Here is the official synopsis for this series:

The Gathering. They are planning a four-part comic miniseries titled Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Elspeth. Here is the official synopsis for this series:

In my perspective, I stand here as a fervent admirer of Elspeth’s indomitable spirit. Though she has met her end, her tale remains far from complete. It is said that the sun god Heliod, feeling a pang of envy towards his champion, cast her into the underworld. There, she is condemned to revisit her darkest moments for all eternity. However, Elspeth does not yield to despair; instead, she rises from each confrontation more heroic than before. And for a hero as remarkable as Elspeth, death is merely another hurdle to conquer.

Elspeth Will Be The First Hero Dark Horse Comics Investigates

In a groundbreaking move, the initial collaboration between Magic: The Gathering and Dark Horse Comics will delve into the story of Elspeth after her prophesied demise. While it’s well-known that death doesn’t keep Heliod’s champion down, the world of Magic: The Gathering has yet to reveal Elspeth’s journey in the afterlife. However, this is about to change as Dark Horse Comics plans to uncover more of these unexplored events in the upcoming months and perhaps even years.

In the case of “Magic: The Gathering – Untold Stories: Elspeth,” the comic is being brought to life through the efforts of writer Dan Watters and artist Owen Gieni. Additionally, creators like Hilary Jenkins (colorist) and Clayton Cowles (letterer) are also part of this exciting project.

In a recent statement, Gieni expressed his immense pride in bringing these exceptional characters and lore to life. He also praised Dan’s scripts as truly exceptional, genius work. His only initial request was to include some of the epic Theros gods and monsters to depict, and Dan certainly delivered, going above and beyond! I believe Magic: The Gathering fans will absolutely adore this.

Regarding Wizards of the Coast, the company that governs Magic: The Gathering, the team is looking forward to observing how Dark Horse Comics will expand the TCG Universe in the future years. Jackie Jones, Vice President of Creative for Magic: The Gathering, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “Elspeth’s story has always touched our fans deeply, and bringing her untold tale to life in this captivating new format has been a truly creative milestone for us.

Together with the amazing group of artists and writers at Dark Horse, we’re excited to offer fans a more in-depth glimpse into one of Magic’s legendary characters.

Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Elspeth #1 will go live on September 10, 2025.
