Nan and Clarion are ready for a new tale of helping animals as veterinarian witches in Hex Vets: The River Guardian. The middle grade graphic novel comes from series creator Sam Davies (Stutterhug) and cartoonist Lisa Moore (Adventure Time).

“A seemingly normal day at the clinic turns strange during a visit from a magical creature making wild prophecies – when he usually just predicts the weather, helps find lost household items and announces the arrival of the River Guardian’s otter messengers,” BOOM! Studios’ description reads.

“Nan and Clarion discover something in the water is making river creatures, both magical and normal, behave in odd ways: beavers building elaborate wood houses teetering on the edge of collapse, kelpies casting aside their magical disguises when trying to lure people to the water, and ice swans making ear-piercing mating calls that freeze chunks of water solid – all similar to the creature at the clinic. The creature’s owner may have something to do with this whimsical madness, so Nan and Clarion must quickly work together to brew a solution and set things right,” the synopsis continues.

Hex Vets: The River Guardian softcover graphic novel will arrive in comic shops on September 18, 2024.

In addition to the new book, the Hex Vets will appear in their own Nickelodeon animated series, HexVets and Magic Pets, sometime in 2024.
