Heavy Metal’s VIRUS imprint has announced Mark McCann’s Never Never #1 which is available on August 12, 2020. Never Never is an amalgamation of Peter Pan, The Hunger Games, and Lord of the Flies. In other words, a survival horror fantasy inspired by classics but intended for a new age. Written by McCann, the comic features the talents of artist Phil Buckenham, colorist Agnese Pozza, letterer David Withers, and editor Peter Duncan.

Winter is seduced by the boy-sprite, Petros – off to the Never, Never. A place where children never grow up and adults are the enemy.

What would such a place look like? Where resources are scarce. Time passes, but age is obsolete. War with adults, starved and insane from constant battle, is the norm. What would age-less boys free of civility and role-models be willing to do to survive. To live Forever.

A young girl will face her greatest test; an island full of immortal cannibals with a dark secret that sustains its existence, in the most unnatural and awful of ways.
