The old adage “Never meet your heroes” is put to the test in BOOM! Studios‘ four-issue miniseries Save Yourself.
CBR has an exclusive first look at Save Yourself #1 from the Pandora’s Legacy creative team of writer Bones Leopard (Identical), artists Kelly and Nichole Matthews (Just Beyond) and letterer Jim Campbell. The preview pages follow Gigi, who is a fan of Earth’s champions, the Magical Girls. The Lovely Trio of Aoe, Thel and Gen saved the planet from an invading alien attack five years ago, turning them into pop icons. However, the solicitation for the June issue teases that there is something dark lurking in the background of this superhero group.
