The hype train has come into the station today as Tom Taylor and Daniel Di Nicuolo’s Seven Secrets gets an official announcement. The series was teased last week by Tom Taylor on Twitter when he shared the logo for the new series. The original series revolves around seven powerful secrets—words, wonders, weapons, and worse—with the power to change the world. “Imagine seven of the most earth-shattering, life-changing secrets—held safe since the beginning of mankind—let loose in the world, and you’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Tom and Daniele’s universe in SEVEN SECRETS,” said Dafna Pleban, Senior Editor via BOOM! press release.
The official synopsis for the series reads:
For centuries, the Order has trusted in Keepers and Holders to guard the Secrets in seven briefcases against all harm but when their stronghold is attacked and the secrets put in peril, the entire Order must face their greatest fear—an enemy who knows too much and is willing to kill to get what he wants.
Now, the Order’s newest member, Caspar, must discover the truth of the Secrets before the enemy does, or risk losing everything.
Scope out some cover art and character designs below.
Fans can pick up the new book this August in comic shops and anywhere digital comics are sold. Read all the details via the BOOM! Studios press release below.
