WELCOME TO THE MAYNARD (2024)

From the celebrated creators behind Starman and Super Friends comes this new magical tale of crime and theft in the world of bourgeoise hospitality. "Welcome To the Maynard!" This is a hotel unlike any other. A place where every guest and staff member has magic in their veins. This is a hotel for magicians, witches, and otherworldly beings. This is also where Phillipa (Pip) Dale begins her first day as the hotel's new bellhop (and trainee house detective) and where she is immediately thrust into a mystery involving an enchanted hotel theft whose daring thefts are deadly. This hotel is a magical, wonderful, dangerous place... so please come in and stay a while.

Pip settles into her new job as bellhop and trainee house detective at the Maynard Hotel (for Wizards, Mages, and Otherworldly Beings) … despite the job coming with some unsettling challenges. If it isn’t the ongoing hunt for hotel thief, or the mage who’s checked in with a dark and tragic goal. Oh, and let’s not forget Pip’s girlfriend’s suspicions with all the secrets and unanswered questions that Pip simply can’t tell her. Yes, Pip has a lot on her hands, for sure, including that the thief’s ultimate goal isn’t mere profit, but rather the death of someone working or staying at the Maynard Hotel! • A new magical crime series from the minds behind of Starman and Super Friends! • Four issue series.

Life at the Maynard Hotel has become even more magical and mysterious for House Detectives Pip and Sam as they try to solve the hotel thief's identity and why she is stealing apparently worthless possessions. However, as the haze begins to part and answers loom, mystery turns into danger, when all clues indicate a gruesome, arcane murder is about to happen. Can Pip and Sam uncover all the answers they need to solve the crime and prevent an assassination? And can Pip save her relationship with her girlfriend Ronnie or will she face heartbreak along with everything else?

As we reach the end of our first stay at the Maynard Hotel of Magic and Wizardry, Pip and Sam; her mentor and the Maynard's house-detective, have finally cracked the mystery of the hotel thief although having put all the pieces together, they must now race to stop a sorcerous assassination of a magical V.I.P. It's an epic battle of spells with Pip thrown right in the middle! And at the same time Pip and her girlfriend Ronnie must sadly acknowledge the ever-growing rift between them.
