Save Yourself #4 | Exclusive Preview
Today we have an exclusive first look at Save Yourself #4, the final issue in a magical-girl miniseries from BOOM! Box. The creative team is writer Bones Leopard (Identical) and artists Kelly & Nichole Matthews (Just Beyond), who were also the creators of Pandora’s Legacy, which our own Esther Keller compared to Rick Riordan’s books. Save Yourself is a different sort of story; here’s the initial description from BOOM! Studios:
What if Magical Girls aren’t Earth’s champions after all? The world’s most beloved heroes Aoe, Thel, and Gen, better known as the Lovely Trio, first burst onto the scene five years ago when they saved Earth from a surprise space monster attack! Since then, everyone–including Gigi, whose brother died as a bystander in a Lovely Trio battle–idolizes them as superheroic pop icons. But when Gigi witnesses the Lovely Trio battling a monster firsthand, she sees something that causes her to question everything she thought she ever knew about her heroes!
Save Yourself #4 will go on sale tomorrow in comic shops, and the collected edition will be available in comic shops on March 2, 2022, and in bookstores on March 8. In the meantime, the four issues are also available on most digital comics platforms, including the library app Hoopla! Enjoy!
