Fan-favorite comic book creators Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise are re-presenting their seaside scary stories in the Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special, hitting shelves this November as part of Syzygy Publishing’s lineup of titles at Image Comics. This extra-length edition, printed on gritty newsprint, packs a punch with a collection of eerie tales. Stories compiled from the whispered accounts of the fictional Southport island locals, where travelers have gone mysteriously missing and there’s a rumor that a long-departed Goddess still holds power. Fans of The Lighthouse, Midnight Mass, and the Lore podcast will enjoy this comic book full of feverish island terror.
The events of the Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special take place between the coasts of somewhere and nowhere, on an island where the visitors are many but the inhabitants are few. Return tickets are issued but the return journeys are rarely ever taken. Some suspect that this hunk of rock sits upon the giant skull of a forgotten God, once lost to the dark waters that encircle the island. To reside in this place is to be engaged in a silent game of chess with something that you’re not even sure is there. Strangely, people still covet passage to this windy little isle, known for its ancient ruins. They belong to an unnamed Goddess and the long-forgotten cult that once worshipped her there. Local legend says that, even though she is long departed, the influence of the Goddess still remains, even if only in the shadows. Welcome to Southport.
Les Mort 13 Giant Syze Special #1 (one-shot) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6:
Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated writer David M. Booher and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker, the team behind hit fantasy comic book series Canto, are teaming up again for the new horror one-shot comic book The Feeding from Syzygy Publishing and Image Comics. Debuting this October, the oversized comic is a throwback to self-contained horror and sci-fi stories in the vein of Tales from the Crypt, Creepshow, and The Twilight Zone.
In The Feeding, Nolan Ward has done everything to forget his disturbing past. Drinking. Drugs. Day-Trading. Sex. And still, that past has caught up with him in the form of a twisted painting called The Feeding…that eats people. And it’s hungry. Can Nolan stop this demon or will he be devoured like so many others before him? Readers will go on a surreal journey into one man’s bloody psyche…to a place and time when art is dangerous and no one is safe. Booher and Zucker are joined by Vittorio Astone on colors and Andworld Design on letters to bring this terrifying tale to life.
The Feeding will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 23 (FOC is today):
Novelists and writing duo Owen King and Jesse Kellerman team up with artist Marianna Ignazzi, colorist Fabiana Mascolo, and designer/letterer Ian Chagren for the upcoming five-issue comic book miniseries titled, Self Help. This new launch out of the Syzygy line at Image Comics will hit shelves on June 19.
Chagren will also be creating unique popular-crime-fiction-inspired logos and design pages for each issue. Issue #1’s design pays homage to legendary Hollywood noir poster artist, Saul Bass.
A California noir story with a wicked sense of humor, Self Help is a surreal and colorful world populated with two-faced talk-show hosts, cheerful Finnish mobsters, bloodthirsty white supremacists, snide English butlers, and panther-wielding Euro-trash assassins.
In Self Help, readers are introduced to down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser, whose existence is a bleak one…especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like ultra-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But in a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime…which, if he’s not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story.
From there the story races ahead at an ever-increasing speed, and with an ever-increasing body count, as Jerry assumes his rival’s identity, fights to keep a lid on the murder, fends off the Euro-gangsters to whom Darren was heavily indebted, placates Darren’s calculating assistant Cassandra, and rebuilds his relationship with his estranged ex-wife Michelle and daughter Amelia. Oh, and he also needs to avoid the white supremacists that hold Jerry’s personal marker—except to them, he’s Danny McClure—and keep up his Drÿvÿr rating.
Self Help #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 19:
Coming this fall from Image Comics’ imprint, Syzygy Publishing, is a gripping new four-issue horror series, A Haunted Girl. Co-written by the father-daughter team of Ethan Sacks and Naomi Sacks, with art by Marco Lorenzana, this paranormal thriller channels terrors both otherworldly as well as the real-life terror that comes with struggles of anxiety and depression.
Cleo, a 16-year-old adopted Japanese-American whose anxiety and depression drives her to suicidal thoughts, is fresh out of the hospital and trying unsuccessfully to reintegrate back into her old life. What she doesn’t know is that her struggles are just beginning as she finds herself encountering an increasingly terrifying succession of ghosts. Is she losing her grip on reality… or is the explanation much, much worse?
The story was developed four years ago while Ethan’s daughter was hospitalized. He is now able to write the series with Naomi who describes it as “very personal” and sees Cleo as going through “a lot of the same struggles” she did.
Cover A by acclaimed creator Joe Quesada and colorist Richard Isanove, with variants by Fico Ossio, Ryusei Yamada, and a logoless, black and white variant by Joe Quesada.
An inspiration to those battling their own demons, A Haunted Girl #1 hits stores October 11.
Syzygy Publishing, an imprint of Image Comics, have announced plans to release a remastered and expanded edition of The Legendary Lynx, the long out-of-print 1970s superhero series from defunct publisher Triumph Comics.
The Lynx, a street-level vigilante and precursor to gritty, noir runs on titles like Marvel’s Daredevil, Moon Knight, and a contemporary to heroes like The Cat and Spider-Woman, was the flagship comic book of Triumph Comics, far surpassing its other, less popular titles. Best-known for its initial, critically-acclaimed run by writer Harvey Stern and artist Doug Detmer, along with guest writer Carmen Valdez, many comic insiders point to the Lynx as an essential, lost part of comic history. When Triumph entered into bankruptcy in the early 90s, the rights surrounding the Lynx became muddled.
The Legendary Lynx is based on the comic book series featured in Alex Segura’s acclaimed and bestselling crime novel, Secret Identity. The novel, which featured Lynx comic book sequences drawn by Sandy Jarrell (as “Doug Detmer”), was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the Mystery/Thriller category in addition to widespread acclaim. Pages from this in-world comic book have already begun serialization via digital platform Zestworld, and will see print later this year from Image/Syzygy.
Locke & Key artist and co-creator Gabriel Rodriguez, colorist Jay Fotos, and writer Chris Ryall bring readers the complete, extra-length tale of a cyborg warrior who calls herself Onyx. The exciting Onyx one-shot story will land on shelves this September and be published by Image Comics and Syzygy.
Onyx arrives in a near-future Nigeria beset by overpopulation and food shortages alongside another alien entity that corrupts all lifeforms in its presence. Is Onyx here to save the planet or, in its final throes, will she help hasten its destruction?
Onyx one-shot (Diamond Code JUL220072) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 28.
The original Zombies Vs. Robots title is back to reclaim its turf and introduce itself to a new world! Eisner Award nominated duo Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood take the reins with a lineup of four classic adventures—each loaded with automaton-versus-automaton action—in ZvRC: Zombies Vs. Robots Classic. These remastered issues will hit shelves in March from Image Comics and Ryall and Wood’s Syzygy Publishing imprint.
Each issue of ZvRC will present an iconic tale and feature new Wood covers, and new stories and additional material, too, as well as the multi-part, entirely untrue Secret History of Zombies Vs. Robots. In the premiere issue, readers will be treated to a 26 page “Which Came First?” origin story, an all-new back-up tale in the spirit of a Kanigher/Kubert war comic, and more!
ZvRC: Zombies Vs. Robots Classic#1, which will feature three new covers by Wood as well as a blank sketch cover, will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 30.
