SDCC 2024: Abrams ComicArts announces Abrams Comics with monthly comics from Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller

Posted on by

At San Diego Comic Con, Abrams ComicArts announced a new initiative—Abrams Comics a new line of monthly-issue comics that officially begins this fall with the release of Human Nature #1 from filmmaker Darren Aronofsky! Abrams ComicArts is expanding into the direct market, working with phenomenal talent to create exciting new monthly single issues, available in comic shops across the country. This is one piece of ComicArts exciting expansion into new areas, as seen in the recent announcement of a new manga line, Kana, also launching this fall. 

HUMAN NATURE

Writers: Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and Jeff Welch
Interior and Cover Artist: Martín Morazzo
Colorist (Interior and Cover): Chris O’Halloran
Letterer: Aditya Bidikar
1st issue on sale: November 20, 2024 (Monthly series) 

From Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky and his writing and producing partner Ari Handel, along with Jeff Welch, comes Human Nature, a social satire of a bizarre yet fathomable future. Drawn by comic book industry giant Martín Morazzo, Human Nature follows the ego-maniacal, Nebraskan chicken magnate Duke. Duke has almost all the world’s resources at his disposal. Once an everyman, Duke managed to work (and intimidate) his way into an endless fortune. Even though he has almost everything, there’s one thing even the richest man in the world can’t buy: immortality. Or can he?

Strange, thought-provoking, and, at times, gruesome, read the mini-series Human Nature to get a glimpse of a future resulting from unchecked greed, corporate corruption, and ethically questionable science.

New Frank Miller Presents Details Revealed

Posted on by
Ronin by Philip Tan and Daniel Henriques
Ronin by Philip Tan and Daniel Henriques

One of the more intriguing announcements of the year is the new publisher Frank Miller Presents. Founded by comic legend Frank Miller, the publisher is looking to both the past and future to chart its course. During the announcement it was revealed that some of Miller’s older properties would return while brand new ones would debut. Joining Miller in the venture is Dan DiDio as Editor in Chief and president and Silenn Thomas as COO. DiDio will spill some of those at this weekend’s Megacon but ahead of the convention some have been revealed.

Ronin was originally published by DC in 1983 and 84 and was a samurai story set in a dark future. Philip Tan and inker Daniel Henriques will be the team behind a sequel featuring layouts by Miller. The story will explore the life of Casey McKenna, a security officer pursuing the nameless Ronin and who had a child with him.

Sin City returns with Sin City 1858 that will be written and drawn by Miller. Set in the Wild West, the series will feature familiar names. The once only black and white series will get a one-issue special in color featuring artist Milo Manara.

New projects include Ancient Enemies created and designed by Danilo Beyruth and Didio and others created by Miller. DiDio will write the series. It focuses on an old war between alien races.

Pandora is a sci-fi fantasy story written by Anthony Maranville and Chris Silvestri and drawn by Emma Kubert. It’s described as a “fairy tale-like beauty and a genuine spookiness”.

Recently, it was announced that Frank Miller Presents had inked an exclusive distribution deal with Diamond. It’s expected to release 2 to 4 titles a year with the first being released later in 2022.

Frank Miller Launches an Independent Publishing Company with Dan DiDio as publisher

Posted on by
Frank Miller Presents

In rather unexpected news, Frank Miller is launching a new publishing banner called Frank Miller Presents. Miller will act as president and editor-in-chief with a focus on a curated line of comics that captures Miller’s style from a range of talent. In the works for months, the line will launch with new Sin City and Ronin.

Dan DiDio will join the venture as publisher while Silenn Thomas, the CEO of Frank Miller Ink, will serve as COO of FMP. DiDio was formerly co-publisher of DC comics from 2010 to 2020

The line’s goal is to publisher two to four titles a year which will be a mix of Miller’s creations as well as new works.

Announced so far is Sin City 1858 which takes Sin City and places it in a Western tale as well as Ronin Book Two, a follow-up to the six issue mini-series that was originally published by DC in 1983 and 1984 and focused on a ronin reincarnated in a bleak future. New titles announced include Pandora and Ancient Enemies.

No details have been released as to the creative teams on the projects.

The first release is expected later this year with Miller’s back catalog remaining with their original publishers.
