THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING – INNISTRAD
San Francisco, CA, November 30, 2015 – VIZ Media and Wizards of the Coast have jointly announced the expansion of the Magic: The Gathering®
publishing catalog with the addition of a second art book to the
collection. Set for release in Summer 2016, THE ART OF MAGIC: THE
GATHERING – INNISTRAD will feature full color illustrations showcasing the mysteries of Innistrad – its peoples, provinces, and monsters.
In
THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING – INNISTRAD, terror falls from the
skies on blood-spattered wings and nameless horrors lurk in the shadows.
These pages, lavishly illustrated with the award-winning art of Magic: The Gathering,
are your entry into a world beset by terrible evils on all sides and
betrayed by the hope it held most dear. Tread lightly as you follow the
heroic Planeswalkers of the Gatewatch as they investigate these dark
mysteries.
THE
ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING – INNISTRAD edition joins THE ART OF MAGIC:
THE GATHERING – ZENDIKAR, a previously announced art book set to debut
in January 2016 from VIZ Media that will feature images from popular
strategy card game Magic: The Gathering. The 240-page book will feature full color illustrations from some of Magic's best artists, such as Aleksi Briclot. MSRP will be $39.99 U.S. / $45.99 CAN.
Throughout its 22-year history, Magic: The Gathering has visited many richly imaginative worlds through card sets and stories. In its newest set, Battle for Zendikar (www.BattleForZendikar.com), Magic
returns to the fan-favorite world of Zendikar, where united tribes of
elves, vampires, and humans battle the monstrous Eldrazi across strange
floating ruins and beautiful landscapes. The Battle for Zendikar card set launched October 2, 2015.
“Innistrad is a favorite plane of Magic fans,” said Elaine Chase, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy and Marketing for Magic: The Gathering.
“We are thrilled to be able to help fans and players explore it in a
whole new way through this beautifully illustrated second art book, The Art of Magic: The Gathering – Innistrad.”

are very excited to work with the Wizards of the Coast team to release
another exceptional art book,” says Beth Kawasaki, Senior Editorial
Director, VIZ Media. “THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING – INNISTRAD is a wonderful companion to the THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING – ZENDIKAR, which debuts early next year.
