As part of their San Diego Comic-Con International panel on Friday the 26th of July, Magma Comix announced details of their latest title, ROME ETERNAL, from writer Homero Rios and artist Diego Yapur.

Here’s the official synopsis:

In a world where the Roman Empire never fell, it now stands on the brink of collapse. For over two thousand years, Roman society has thrived, evolving into a technological and military powerhouse. Yet its immense power has bred corruption, making it vulnerable to a group of unique and fanatical individuals known as the Mithra Mysteries. To some, they are terrorists; to others, they are heroes. As their enigmatic leader reveals his bold plan to assassinate the Emperor, no one within Rome is safe!

Speaking about the series, Rios said “The blend of action and suspense in this rich, semi-historical sci-fi setting offers a unique challenge that I eagerly embrace. I believe that, one way or another, readers will come to realize that, much like The Mysteries, nothing lasts forever, and the best choice might just be to overthrow the Emperor.”

“The action in Rome Eternal is fast and powerful, I think it will be quite a ride,” added Yapur.

The new series, published in partnership with Ruptura Estudios, is set to hit comic shops and digital platforms on the 6th of November 2024.
