The line between magic and reality is blurred in the upcoming film Sleight, as the tricks of a young illusionist named Bo, as played by Jacob Latimore, could be more than they initially appear. But Bo will need a lot of magic on his side to save his sister’s life, and his own. Before audiences follow Bo’s journey into danger, they will get a chance to discover how he came to be such a talented magician.
Oni Press has revealed that it is teaming up with BH Tilt and WWE Studio for a Sleight prequel digital comic that will be written by Ryan Parrott and drawn by Chew artist and co-creator Rob Guillory. Today, we’re proud to reveal the cover for that issue.
The Sleight comic will be set in the years before the events depicted in the film, as Bo finds himself forced to step into the role of his sister’s caretaker following the death of their parents. Along the way, Bo refines his skills and gets involved with some very questionable people and activities that will definitely come back to haunt him in the film.
To set the stage for anyone who wants to check out the movie, Oni is going to make the Sleight digital comic available for a free download on March 30th, but only for a limited time. Sleight will be out in theaters on April 28.
