It appears that the title for the continuation of the Comic Book adaptation of Magician, which started with Magician Apprentice, will definitely be going under the title of 'Riftwar', rather than the previously anounced Magician Riftwar.

The release date for issue #002 has been revealed by Marvel, and can be found with the other details we have, at Riftwar Issue #002.

Waiting for final notes and then one last rewrite, probably no more  than three or four days.  BTW, expect a title change; no one likes  Return of the Demon King, including me.

Then on to A Kingdom Besieged.
