TO RESUME BELOVED SERIES THE LEGION

Book Three to Debut in 2022

New York Times and USA Today best-selling novel and comic book author KAMI GARCIA announced today at long last she will resume her celebrated series, The Legion, with Tapas Media, the leading digital publisher of webcomics and novels, confirming the third installment to release exclusively on the platform in 2022. Fans across the globe have been impatiently waiting for the return of the supernatural thriller since 2014! Garcia will re-release brand-new, updated versions of the first two installments of The Legion series, Unbreakable and Unmarked, in advance of book three as well adapt all three books into webcomics publishing exclusively on Tapas.

“When Michele Wells, Tapas Media’s COO and former editor of my Teen Titansgraphic novel series at DC, approached me about bringing The Legion to Tapas, I immediately recognized the potential,” says Garcia. “The format will allow me to expand the first two books in the series and create new bonus content to build on the existing universe and mythology. It will also give me the opportunity to really dig into the characters and the found family aspect of The Legion Series, so both existing fans and new readers can relate to them on a deeper level. I’m already hard at work, and Tapas’ plans for the series are incredible. I can’t wait for readers to see what we’re cooking up for them.”

The Bram Stoker Award-nominated author is one of the most celebrated voices in the YA community with more than 10 million books sold in 51 countries in 38 languages. Garcia’s works include the Beautiful Creatures series, Teen Titans: Raven, The X-Files: Agent of Chaos, The Lovely Reckless, Broken Beautiful Hearts, and the DC Black Label comic Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity. She is also a cofounder of the Kid Lit book festival YALLFest.

“We are thrilled to partner with Kami Garcia on this fan-favorite series,” says Tapas Media CCO Michele R. Wells. “We have seen how dedicated readers are to The Legion, and we are so excited to share the exciting conclusion with longtime fans of the series, as well as introduce new readers to this gorgeously imagined world through these new exclusive episodes!”
