The ninth and final issue of IN MAPS & LEGENDS, a digital-only comic illustrated by Niki Smith and written by Michael Jasper, is now available. The comic which began life in 2009 on the now defunct DC Comics webcomic label, Zuda Comics, and then went independent, reaches its explosive, mind-bending conclusion after 200 pages. A collected digital version of all nine issue launches next week on October 12th.
In Maps & Legends mixes together urban fantasy, science fiction, and steampunk. Thanks to her grandfather, Kaitlin Grayson knows maps and legends. But Kait never would've dreamed that she would one day attempt to save two worlds at the same time, becoming both a map and a legend in the explosive conclusion to this storyline. You can read a free preview of Issue 1.
You can read the comic in the digital format you prefer, on whichever ebook device you own — the Android Phone, Windows Phone, or iPhone; the Kindle, the Nook, or the iPad; or on your desktop, laptop, or the Web (PDF, CBZ, HTML, and Flash). Issues of the ongoing, contemporary fantasy comic are available many different online distributors, including Comixology, Graphic.ly, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple's iBooks, the Google eBookstore, MyDigitalComics, and DriveThruComics. Issues sell for just $.99 each.
