BOOM! Studios will release a new Jim Henson’s The Storyteller mini-series next week. This time, the focus will be on Shapeshifters.
The first issue in the four-issue mini-series will be written by Andre R. Frattino, with art by Nori Retherford, and will focus on the Celtic myth of the Swan Children of Lir.
Dain, a nefarious, power-hungry magic user and Lir’s brother-in-law, plots to steal the throne from Lir and his family by turning Lir’s children into swans and ascending the throne himself. Fionna, the oldest, wants only to gain revenge against Dain, in order to continue her quest to help her father secure his fierce and fearsome legacy as a renowned warrior. While Fionna attempts to find a way to break their curse, the swan-children are forced to wander near and far for nearly a thousand years. They endure much hardship and sorrow, but face the curse together…finding solace and strength in one another.
Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Shapeshifters #1 will arrive on March 2, 2022.
