About Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories—Jace:
Jace Beleren is the most talented mind mage in the Multiverse. A master of telepathy, illusion, and memory distortion, Jace’s heroic feats are tainted by a duplicitous past that threatens to unravel him at any given moment.
Dive deep into Jace’s lost memories to uncover the manipulation by his mentor, Tezzeret, in pursuit of a dangerous magical artifact with the potential to reshape or destroy the Multiverse as we know it.
“Jace is the kind of character that has haunted me for years, he’s that good looking guy that makes me throw my cards in the bin and extend my hand begrudgingly to the dreaded blue player who just ended my game,” said Conrad. “Beyond that the lore surrounding him has captured my imagination, and has refused to let go. I identify with Jace in that I don’t entirely trust my own memories and perceptions of the world, this has made approaching an at times aggravating character a bit therapeutic. I mean, if Jace can cope with having his mind messed with by everything from an ancient sphinx to someone he once deeply admired, surely I can unpack some of my own, far more pedestrian trauma… In this way it has been a cathartic experience to spend time in his troubled mind.”
MAGIC: THE GATHERING: Untold Stories—Jace #1 (of 4) releases in stores on February 4, 2026. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
MAGIC: THE GATHERING: Untold Stories—Jace #1 marks the third release of a new licensed publishing program between Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast division.
