“This miniseries has ended, but never fear, True Believer!” The final page of Maestro #5 reads. “There’s a lot more story to tell, and now that he’s got the throne, the Maestro ain’t goin’ nowhere. MAESTRO: WAR AND PAX debuts on January 20 with artist Javier Pina at Peter David’s side!”

In a previously released statement, David said: “I am thrilled that, twenty years after I created him, the Maestro still intrigues people so much that the first series garnered the sort of success that demanded a follow-up. As long as folks want to keep reading about him, I’m happy to keep giving them stories.”
