The bestselling, award winning creative team behind such sales chart toppers as Descender, Ascender, and Little Monsters—Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen—will re-team with an all-new ongoing series in the upcoming Crowbound. This dark fantasy epic was first teased at NYCC last year, is set to launch this September from Image Comics.
Rose isn’t special. She works in the Factory just like everyone else—a dark, sprawling monolithic structure that runs along the coast and cuts the world in two. All that’s left now are desolate settlements that exist in its shadow, made up of submerged villages, derelict woods, and deadly swamps. No one knows what’s left of the world on the other side…
But when Rose’s young daughter Ava is violently taken from their shanty town home a year before she is meant to join the work force, Rose will come face-to-face with the surreal, harrowing forces outside the Factory’s walls.
Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale meets Cormac McCarthy’s The Road with echoes of Kill Bill and Pan’s Labyrinth when a noncompliant mother makes a dark pact with an ancient, violent Scarecrow Queen to stop a totalitarian government from taking her daughter.
Crowbound #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 2.

Due to unexpected logistical challenges, the second issue and reprinting of the first for Ben 10will be hitting stores at a different date. The printer experienced a power outage which affected the timeline for getting the books together and moving along to distributors and retailers. Both Ben 10 #1 2nd Printing and Ben 10 #2will now be in stores June 10, rather than the originally solicited June 3. Though the exciting blind bag release for the first issue will still be hitting June 3, packed with the final first prints. Future issues are expected to hit their originally solicited dates for retailers and readers, including #3 in stores July 8. Fans can look forward to the explosive second chapter in the new hit series written by the original creators, the Man of Action team starting with Joe Casey.
