Hitting the books takes on a whole new meaning when a teenage Zatanna Zatara enrolls at Mystik University--an otherworldly college that promises to teach its young charges how to master their unique and often dangerous magickal abilities. The classic magicians of the DC Universe are reimagined for a new era in Mystik U: Freshman Year Enchantments, collecting the three-issue miniseries from critically acclaimed novelist Alisa Kwitney (Cadaver & Queen, Till the Fat Lady Sings) and fan-favorite artist Mike Norton (Revival, Runaways), presented here for the first time as a young adult graphic novel.
Fantasy/romantic fiction/comics author Alisa Kwitney (A Flight of Angels, Moonburn) reveals the secret backstory of Avengers couple Hawkeye and the Black Widow. Under secret orders to assassinate the Widow, the rough-edged marksman finds himself caught up in a violent prison break that releases some of the world's most vicious and powerful criminals. Defying his superiors, Hawkeye joins forces with the sultry Russian spy - and with a mismatched group of personalities that include Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, Captain America and Iron Man. Unexpected betrayals and shocking revelations will lead the team from Manhattan's top security Raft prison to the untamed jungle of Savage Land in dramatically different take on Brian Michael Bendis' blockbuster Avengers comics debut. Learn the sizzling backstory of your favorite big-screen heroes in this adaptation, inspired by the best of page and screen!
