Gutter Magic #2 (IDW Publishing) The hunt for the last great spell continues in the grimy, spell-bound streets of a world where magic is the ultimate currency. Following the explosive debut of this urban fantasy hit, Issue #2 dives deeper into the rusted, enchanted landscape of a post-magical-war New York. Writer Rich Douek and artist Andrea Mutti expand the lore of Shard—a man born into a family of powerful wizards but with absolutely zero magical ability of his own. In this chapter, Shard and his sharp-tongued goblin partner, Cinder, must navigate the dangerous underworld of the Market. With the Ghost Merchants closing in and the mystery of the "Open Door" spell deepening, Shard’s quest for power becomes a desperate race for survival. Issue Highlights: Creative Team: Written by Rich Douek (Sea of Sorrows); atmospheric, noir-inspired art by Andrea Mutti (Rebels, Batman Eternal). The Story: A gritty "magic-punk" adventure that blends the high-stakes of a heist with the wonder of a fantasy epic. Format: 32 Pages | Full Color | IDW Publishing. For Fans Of: The Magicians, Saga, and gritty urban fantasy noir.
