Archaia Announces New Fraggle Rock Limited Series

Posted on by

Archaia and The Jim Henson Company invite you to “dance your cares away” with the all-new, comic book limited series Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring. Ever since publishing two Fraggle Rock anthology collections of short stories with The Jim Henson Company several years ago, the publisher has been eager to tell one big, epic, Fraggle-tastic tale. New York Times bestselling author Kate Leth teams up with Fraggle Rock veteran artist Jake Myler for a fun story that new and longtime fans alike can enjoy.

The Fraggles will adventure to places they’ve never been before, places where Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley, and Boober will meet brand-new friends, sing brand-new songs, and dance their cares away! No one mastered the all-ages art form quite like Jim Henson, and the characters of Fraggle Rock remain some of his most beloved creations. Leth and Myler have spun a hilarious, super fun story for both longtime fans and comic readers of all ages who’ve yet to meet this lovable gang of Fraggles.

When the water supply of Fraggle Rock mysteriously runs dry, the Fraggles have to journey deep into the caves of Fraggle Rock to find the fabled Everspring where adventure awaits and no Fraggle has gone before!

Archaia’s Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on October 8th with a cover price of $3.99. The main cover will be illustrated by series artist Jake Myler, with a retailer incentive cover by Jake Myler and The Jim Henson Company Archives.

Aaron & Garney Launch Men of Wrath for Marvel’s ICON Imprint in October!

Posted on by

This October, New York Times bestselling writer Jason Aaron and fan-favorite artist Ron Garney team up once again for a gritty new limited series kicking off in Men of Wrath #1!

Ever since Great Grandfather Isom killed a man over some sheep, a black cloud has hung over the Rath family. Now, over a century later, Ira Rath is the coldest hitman ever to walk on Alabama soil. And he’s just taken a job that will decide the fate of his cursed family once and for all. As the blood-soaked history of the Rath family unfolds, witness the cycle of violence that shaped Ira into the ruthless killer he is today.

In an interview with CBR, Aaron said:

Men of Wrath is about family history. Each issue opens with flashbacks to different generations of the Rath family. We kind of start to see how the cycle of violence begins and gets perpetuated and passed down from generation to generation of this family and kind of culminates in Ira as the worst of the bunch.

Garney added:

Everybody has their history. Some history is more colorful than others. Some are more dysfunctional than others. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can guarantee this story is bound to hit on many different cylinders for many people because of the family dynamic.

Launched in 2004, Marvel’s ICON imprint is designed specifically for top-tier creators to tell their bold, creator-owned stories featuring their own characters and creations. Producing such critically acclaimed titles like Kick-Ass, Powers and The United States of Murder Inc., Marvel’s ICON imprint has solidified itself as the place to be for exciting stories from A-List creators.

What actions and events led Ira Rath down his murderous path? Dive into the story of a Southern family and their violent history as Aaron & Garney explore the dark past of the Rath family this October in Men of Wrath #1!

And if he can save her, he might save the world.
