Prepare for a high-octane, irreverent journey into the magical arts with Maestros, Volume 1. Created, written, and illustrated by legendary artist Steve Skroce (The Matrix storyboard artist, We Stand On Guard), this series is a visual masterclass in ultra-detailed fantasy violence and dark humor.

When the reigning Wizard King and his entire royal family are brutally assassinated, the throne of Earth’s magical realm falls to the only surviving heir: Willum, an exiled millennial living in Orlando who was kicked out of wizard school for his "unorthodox" behavior.

Plot Summary

Willum is suddenly yanked from his mundane life and thrust into the role of the Maestro, the most powerful magic user in the universe. Inheriting a kingdom he never wanted and enemies he didn't know he had, Willum must navigate a world of cutthroat magical politics, ancient gods, and reality-warping spells. With the "Eternity Flower" in his possession, he has the power of a god—but everyone in the cosmos wants him dead before he learns how to use it.
