Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light

Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light was a short-lived comic seres published by Star Comics, an imprint of Marvel. The comic lasted only six issues, and was cancelled halfway through a four-part storyline. The first issue was an adaptation of the first episode, “The Age of Magic Begins”, but subsequent issues took the storyline in a different direction. There were a few differences in details – whereas in the cartoon, the staff-bearing knights had only one use of their staffs before needing a recharge, in the comic, they could use their staffs as often as they liked. In one issue, Witterquick and Cindarr crossed their staffs to combine their powers, the combination of light speed and destruction creating an earthquake. Another difference concerned the animal totems – the characters worried that they might lose control of their animal forms while in them.
