The production process of a collectible edition 📚

The deluxe reissue involves improvements in paper quality, page size, and print quality, as well as including extra content such as sketches and alternative covers. BOOM! Studios has worked on the digital restoration of the original illustrations to ensure sharp reproduction. The first volume collects the initial story arcs, and pre-orders help define the final print run, a common method in the industry to avoid surpluses.

Fencing, scholarships, and rivals: the perfect teenage drama ⚔️

Nicholas arrives at an elite school on a scholarship and a fencing team that seems straight out of a soap opera. His rival is not only faster but also has a past that complicates everything. Fortunately, readers don't need to know anything about foils or thrusts to enjoy the drama. Just sit back, turn the pages, and watch the characters get tangled up in fights and feelings.
