About Magic: The Gathering: Untold StoriesâLiliana:
Liliana Vess is the most powerful necromancer in the multiverse, but her power came at a cost. For her strength and her mastery of death, Liliana bargained her soul to four powerful demons: Kothophed, Razaketh, Belzenlok, and Griselbrand. But now, Liliana seeks to regain her freedom and destroy the pact she wears etched into her skin.
Lilianaâs journey has brought her to Innistrad, the rumored location of Griselbrand, and a plane rife with corruption, chaos, and suffering. Determined to hunt the demon
down and reclaim the piece of her soul he took, her task will not be an easy oneâfor Liliana Vess is not the only seeker of vengeance upon the plane of Innistrad.
MAGIC: THE GATHERING: Untold StoriesâLiliana #1 (of 4) releases in stores on October 14, 2026. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
