The Cutting Garden Hits Shelves this Fall

Posted on by Leave a comment

From Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest and rising star watercolor artist Erin Connally comes The Cutting Garden. This gorgeously rendered, standalone graphic novel hardcover explores companionship, legacy, and sacrifice and will hit shelves this September from Image Comics.

On a quiet street in New Orleans, a mysterious girl seeks out a florist to deliver an earth-shattering truth in a final act of kindness and redemption. The Cutting Garden is an intimate and elegant gothic tale that shares bloodlines with contemporary literary horror books like that of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and postmodern indie films like The Tree of Life.

The Cutting Garden original graphic novel hardcover (ISBN: 9781534330801) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 2 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, September 29.

The Author Immortal Vol. 1: Death of the Author

(w) Frank J. Barbiere (a) Morgan Beem

A queer, literary fantasy about the stories that shape us—and what happens when we outgrow them.

Hector Ramirez dreamed of changing the world with words. Years later, he’s given one last chance: to help reboot the fantasy series that shaped his childhood. But when he discovers the author has vanished into his own creation, Hector is pulled into a realm built from fiction and ruled by a story that refuses to end.

He’s not alone. Along for the journey is Al, his nonbinary teen child searching for their place in both the real world and the story that now threatens to consume them. Alethea, once the series’ bright young mage heroine, also fights alongside them as a battle-worn warrior, questioning whether she still belongs to the story she was created to serve. Together, they must uncover the forces tearing this world apart and what it means to live inside a story that no longer wants you.

As fiction and reality collide, Hector, Al, and Alethea face a painful truth: to move forward, they’ll have to confront the very story that made them.

From writer FRANK J. BARBIERE (FIVE GHOSTS) and artist MORGAN BEEM (Swamp Thing: Twin Branches), THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL is a lush, character-driven fantasy for fans of Nimona , Lore Olympus, and MONSTRESS—a mythic, deeply human story about creation, queerness, and finding yourself in the ruins of someone else’s myth.

Collects THE AUTHOR IMMORTAL #1-5.

Image reveals the lineup of Variant Covers for If Destruction Be Our Lot

Posted on by Leave a comment

Writer Matthew Rosenberg and his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg team up with artist Andy Macdonald colorist Francesco Segala, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou for If Destruction Be Our Lot, a smart new speculative science fiction series painting an all too possible picture of humanity’s end.

Image Comics and the team behind this timely new ongoing announce the full lineup of covers for issues number 1 and 2 from series artist Andy MacDonald with Francesco Segala, Jerome Opeña and Neeraj Menon, James Harren, Tradd Moore, Tula Lotay, and Cliff Chiang.  Each issue will also feature a special ‘Where’s Abe?’ homage cover where the book’s protagonist wanders onto the cover of another beloved Image Comics title, as drawn by that book’s artist.

In If Destruction Be Our Lot, humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. The robots are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe, a robotic replicant of Abraham Lincoln in search of meaning beyond the daily grind. Abe believes there must be something more out there beyond the edge of the city. After nearly getting killed, he’s determined to wander the Earth until he finds it… or gets recycled trying.

If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6.
