While Soria and Kendall seem to be the only people that remember the legendary MegaGhost Saturday morning cartoon, they are not letting its legend end with them, and have now brought the adventures of Martin Magus to life in the pages of MegaGhost. What follows are a mix of mysticism, the paranormal, Kaiji destruction, and an unparalleled sense of adventure. While the debate on whether the show ever actually existed rages on, fans are in for a one of a kind adventure that will make them wish they had seen the show in its prime.
Soria and Kendall had this to say about the MegaGhost holiday adventure, writing, “In the grand tradition of ghost stories for Christmas, we offer this MEGAGHOST story, full of Christmas spirits and holiday cheer & fear, and giant supernatural monster battles, because that’s what the season’s all about, right?”
MegaGhost Volume 1 hits bookstores on January 7th, 2025 and then hits comic shops a day later on January 8th, and it is up for pre-order now. You can find the official description below.
