When it comes to his decade-long relationship with Boom! Studios, writer James Tynion IV has done it all, from the high school drama of The Backstagers to the monster horror of Something Is Killing The Children, but one series soars through its own path - the all-ages fantasy WYND, co-created with artist Michael Dialynas. Starting this November, that journey is coming to an end.

The series about the eponymous hero — a young boy who is forced by events to leave home and discover who he truly is, in order to save the realm — debuted to acclaim in 2021 with the first volume, Wynd: Flight of the Prince. Since then, Tynion and Dialynas have expanded the story in two subsequent volumes, The Secret of the Wings, and The Throne in the Sky. Now, it’s time for the final chapter: The Power of the Blood.

Boom!’s official description of the new series is appropriately teasing: “War is brewing between humans, Faeriekind, and the dastardly Vampyres,” it explains. “Wynd, the boy hero, has been captured; Zedra and her Vampyre forces have discovered that Wynd’s magical blood allows them to regrow their wings, giving them an upperhand in the coming war. Meanwhile, Wynd’s young friends in Newport hatch a plan to rescue Wynd before it’s too late…”

This latest installment is described by the publisher as “the conclusion of the years long, Eisner and GLAAD Award nominated fantasy series.”

Dialynas provides the main cover for the first issue, with variant covers coming from Toni Infante, Sweeney Boo, and more. Check out the gallery below for Dialynas’s cover and interiors from the first issue, along with Boo’s variant cover.

WYND: The Power of the Blood #1 will be released November 13.
