Tales from the Mana Crypt #101 - The Modern Horizon

Tales from the Mana Crypt #100 - Expressive Iteration

This is our 100th page for Tales from the Mana Crypt!

When we started out, we just wanted there to be more MTG fanart, so we made a webcomic. Since then, we're so lucky to have met so many great people thanks to this comic. In a way, it feels like making more of what we wanted to see helped us find other people who loved the same things about Magic.

It's easy to feel cynical about things these days, and especially easy when we're talking about Hasbro's cornerstone commercial product. Making this comic is like a (usually) weekly exercise in being sincere, and seeing the responses is a panacea against pessimism.

All that to say, if you've ever read this comic, let alone shared or commented on it, I just want to say thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope we make 100 more at least!!

Slight fandom shift, but I love how MTG Tumblr took one look at Aurelia (a literal angel) arresting Massacre Girl (a literal mass murderer) and decided "They're definitely in lesbians"

To their credit, there is a collar involved in the actual WOTC published story, so they brought this on themselves.

And you think I didn't know what I was doing?

[seananmcguire]

So the person I am reblogging from here left a tag saying that every now and then, they wished they knew how to get into Magic Story. I would like to help!

So first off, https://mtglore.com/ is your new best friend. It literally recaps or links to basically everything that's existed across the history of Magic, and can help you out bigtime.

New stories appear at https://magic.wizards.com/en/story as they are posted.

Sometimes when I'm doing Story, I get over-ambitious and do "behind the scenes" breakdowns, called "DVD extras," at my blog: https://seananmcguire.com/blog/

Magic Story is huge and sprawling and glorious and terrible and modern and vintage and it's waiting for you. Come join us. Walk the Planes, and let the Blind Eternities welcome you home.
