The Vorthos Cast

We're wrapping up our episodes all about Jace with the conclusion of the Dark Horse Comics series Untold Stories: Jace! We previously discussed issues #1 and #2, so this week we're finishing the story with #3 and #4. This comic mini-series, part of the Untold Stories line which began with Elspeth and continues with Liliana and Teferi, tells a story set in Jace's past, but with a lot of relevance to his future and the story we saw unfold in Reality Fracture. Jace and Tezzeret must contend with Jhoira, Squee, and a secret—and terrifying—evil while they try to acquire a Sylex for a mysterious patron.

We're joined once again by Jace's number 1 fan, Radley! Last time we had Radley on, it was to talk about the beginning of Jace's heel turn into multiversal villain. This week, we're talking about the end of Jace Beleren, what it means to be a fan of such a complex character, and what the future of Magic story looks like without one of the most prominent faces of the lore.

Reality Fracture was the end of a multi-year story arc designed and executed by the incredible story team at Wizards of the Coast, and this week we have two of the brilliant creatives who made it happen on to talk to us about how they pulled it off! We're joined by Story Lead Roy Graham, who shaped the arc from Wilds of Eldraine all the way to Reality Fracture, and by Meris Mullaley, the Narrative Lead for the set itself who stitched together the story and the card set.

We're joined once again by the wonderful writer and Vorthos Kathleen De Vere to talk about the story of Reality Fracture! We go in deep on our feelings about the crafting of this story, the way it succeeded in making us connect with Jace and Vraska, and even what we think might have been missing.

You can find Kathleen on Loading Ready Run on YouTube, her weekly music show BraveNewFaves on Twitch, and on Bluesky at @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com!

We sit down with Alison Lührs, author of the Reality Fracture story and so much more, to talk about what it was like killing Jace Beleren, completing a journey long in the making, and kicking off a new journey with a person in progress. We also talk about shipping single moms, going on hikes, and who we think probably smiled through Jace's funeral.
