BOOM! Studios has announced that Once & Future, the highly acclaimed original series from New York Times bestselling writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars), Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Klaus), and acclaimed colourist Tamra Bonvillain (Doom Patrol), has been promoted to an ongoing series due to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans.

Once & Future introduced readers to ex-monster hunter Bridgette McGuire, who pulls her unsuspecting grandson Duncan, into a world of magic and mysticism to defeat a legendary threat when a group of Nationalists use an ancient artifact to bring a villain from Arthurian myth back from the dead. Now Bridgette and Duncan must navigate the complicated history of the McGuire family and combat the deadly secrets of England’s past that threaten its very future.
