Fans of Noelle Stevenson have been curious to know what she might do next following the print publication of her award-winning webcomic Nimona and her decision to step down as one of the writers of Lumberjanes. Publisher's Weekly answered that question on Thursday afternoon, revealing that Stevenson will team with screenwriter Todd Casey for the fantasy adventure series 4 Wizards from HarperTeen, to be published in 2017. Stevenson and Casey met at Disney when they were working on the animated series Wander Over Yonder, and it was there that the idea for 4 Wizards first developed. ComicsAlliance spoke to the creators to learn more about the wizards and their world, how the pair collaborate, and why they're drawn to the fantasy genre. Stevenson was also kind enough to share her first character sketches exclusively with ComicsAlliance!

Marvel's stop-motion animation series from Alex Kropinak and co. have been releasing reliably funny shorts since the project launched all the way back in 2009, but the crew might have outdone themselves with this Christmas edition. Featuring words and voices by Todd Casey (Thundercats, Wander Over Yonderand numerous Marvel Animation work) and Marly Halpern-Graser (Teen Titans Go, Mad, numerous DC Nations shorts), the new piece finds the perpetually failing mad titan Thanos realize that while he cannot penetrate the Inhumans' stronghold, there is one being on Earth whose only super power is gaining entry to anybody's house. Along the way, some of your favorite Marvel superheroes remind us of the true meaning of Christmas: wanting stuff.
