This September, Simon Spurrier and Matías Bergara’s Eisner Award-nominated fantasy series CODA is making its triumphant return to BOOM! Studios with a new series.

It’s safe to say that we’re massive fans of the series here at the Big Comic Page, so the prospect of seeing the next chapter in the lives of Hum, Serka and the Nag fills us with an almost hallucinogenic level of excitement.

Here’s the official blurb:

In this brand new adventure in the apocalyptic fantasy world of Coda, the despondent bard Hum finds a slice of tranquility with his wife, the Urken named Serka, in an ever-darkening, magic-less apocalypse – or so it seems. Prophecies of paradise and the return of magic? Hum is skeptical, while Serka faces difficult moral decisions on the road, with winter quickly approaching…

Speaking about the news, Spurrier said “It’s Coda. It’s Matias. It’s about what happens after the magic dies. It’s about muddling through and giant crabs and accursed moons and love and religion and kamikaze messenger-fairies and foul-mouthed unicorns and trying really really really hard not to go on quests. It’s the funnest and most poisonous and best thing to write, ever, and I think it might be our best work yet.”

“Coda has been my absolute favourite book I have ever worked on. I prefer to call it a place, a dimension – one in which a part of me lives day by day in a state of curiosity and discovery,” added Bergara. “My greatest joy is seeing people reading and entering into this dimension with us.”

Featuring a main cover by Bergara and variants by Toni Infante and Nick Dragotta, CODA #1 will be available in comic shops and on digital platforms on the 27th of September 2023, and you can feast your eyes on some preview and variant cover artwork below:
