The Mary Sue Exclusive Preview: Dark Horse Comics’ Zodiac Starforce Variant Cover

Are teen girls with magical powers your reason for getting up in the morning? If so, Dark Horse’s latest offering, Zodiac Starforce, may become your new favorite thing, and The Mary Sue got an exclusive look at this store variant cover! Dropping in August, Zodiac Starforce is created by Kevin Panetta (Bravest Warriors) and Paulina Ganucheau (TMNT: New Animated Adventures, Bravest Warriors), and is described as Sailor Moon meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

From Dark Horse Comics:

They’re an elite group of teenage girls with magical powers who have sworn to protect our planet against dark creatures . . . as long as they can get out of class! Known as the Zodiac Starforce, these high-school girls aren’t just combating math tests. They’re also battling monsters—not your typical afterschool activity! But when an evil force from another dimension infects team leader Emma, she must work with her team of magically powered friends to save herself—and the world—from the evil Diana and her mean-girl minions!

From Kevin Panetta (Bravest Warriors) and Paulina Ganucheau (TMNT: New Animated Adventures, Bravest Warriors), this super-fun and heartfelt story of growing up and friendship—with plenty of magical-girl fighting action—delivers the most exciting new ensemble cast in comics!

Well, if this art is anything to go by, this book is certainly worth a look! Are you looking forward to Zodiac Starforce?
