The mighty Stone King roams the landscape… When you become an adult, you have to prove yourself, at least that's how it works for the Stoneport thieves. Ave has decided to illegally harvest healing moss from the Stone King, a mighty giant who roams the lands. Her theft goes even better than she could have dreamed. The biggest gem she's ever seen is her prize. But what she thought would buy her a ticket to adventure and a better life, brings disaster instead. Now her home is in danger and fixing her mistakes is the city's only hope. Eisner nominated for Best Digital Comic, comiXology Originals presents this high-stakes adventure caper from writer Kel McDonald (Sorcery 101, Misfits of Avalon) and artist Tyler Crook (Petrograd, Harrow County).

Smart-mouthed, modern-day teens Morgan, Elsie, Kimber, and Rae couldn't be more different. That is, until a mysterious fairy sets them on a harrowing mission. Imbuing them with magical powers, the girls are tasked with capturing the sword Excalibur from King Arthur. But when they fail to retrieve it after a particular tense battle, the girls begin to question if their quest is a noble one . . . Often at odds--the foursome must band together, face their differences, and discover the true power that lies deep within each of them."McDonald has a real affection for magical-world building, and Misfits of Avalon is steeped in Irish mythology, which she has placed on a collision course with Arthurian legend." --io9
