LAUNCH PAD
Our mission statement... straight from the top!
Welcome to the new Wizard World Digital! “Discovery” is the one word that best describes Wizard World Digital. For 20 years, we've exposed fans to fresh and upcoming artists, writers, creators, comic books, graphic novels, toys and characters—many that have reached superstar status. This trend is continuing big-time with Wizard World Digital. We can now reach millions of fans worldwide in a more direct way, more frequently and in the manner in which they want to receive it. This is truly pioneering! On the cover of this inaugural issue, we set the tone and tenor of Wizard World Digital by featuring Who is Jake Ellis?, written by Nathan Edmondson. “Why would we do that?” you might be thinking. Well, because the book deserves it—check out why we think Hollywood is gonna come knocking on his door. Come back each week and you’ll find out lots more to discover. See ya!
