Steven Universe, now in its fourth season, has attracted a worldwide fan base and KaBOOM! is taking advantage of that with a new comic series launching next year. Previously having released several limited series and one-shorts, KaBOOM! (an imprint of BOOM! Studios) is now committing to an ongoing series based on the Emmy-nominated series. The plot of the first issue should please many hardcore fans with its inclusion of the fan favorite characters of Lapis and Peridot.

In this kickoff issue, Steven, Lapis, and Peridot rescue a baby songbird on the ground outside the barn and work together to reunite it with its mother.

The plot clues in that the comics will be set sometime around the currently airing episodes, with Lapis and Peridot living at the barn. No word on whether these issues will be interconnected or standalone, but that first plot fits the tone of the series perfectly.

The full information for the new comic, including the creative team, is as follows...
