[Exclusive] First Look at “WYND: The Power of the Blood” #5: Beginning the Final Chapter of the Queer-Led Fantasy Series
The Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated YA series from BOOM! Studios by James Tynion IV and Michaels Dialynas begins its final chapter!
The thrilling final Chapter of WYND begins September 24th! We have an exclusive first look at WYND: The Power of the Blood #5 to share here at The DeMonster, from our friends over at BOOM! Studios!
In this fantastical high fantasy world there is a coming war between the Humans, Faeriekind, and the Vampyres. Caught in the middle is a young boy, Wynd, forced to hide who he was for years; he is then thrust into a world full of wild magic and malicious forces keen on hunting him down. Wynd is the key to something bigger—he is an echo of a civilization only rumored to have once existed. The blood running through his veins is the key to allowing dark forces to regain their power of flight in order to give them an advantage in the coming war.
WYND is the Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated YA series from award-winning creators James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Exquisite Corpses) and Michael Dialynas (The Woods, Zawa + The Belly of the Beast), with letters by AndWorld Design (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Sirens of the city), published by BOOM! Studios in collaboration with Tiny Onion, James Tynion IV’s production house.
WYND: The Power of the Blood (#1-4) is the fourth chapter of the ongoing high fantasy series. This queer-led story explores themes of prejudice and oppression, making it a relevant story powerful enough to represent many real-world experiences and problems. Set in a beautiful world full of magic and excitement, WYND proves to be an incredibly grounded and human story. WYND: The Power of the Blood #5 begins the epic conclusion to the long-running series, beginning its final chapter and fifth book. Issue #5 is set to hit shelves September 24th, with FOC (Final Order Cutoff) on August 18th.
Wynd, Noz and Yorik have narrowly escaped the clutches of Zedra and her resurrected brother, the Bandaged Man! Teek, Thorn and Oakley have set sail to rescue Wynd, with a handful of unexpected comrades joining them! What no one knows yet is that Zedra has killed Nero, and her fleet is headed straight for Pipetown…
