Image Comics has announced a new epic fantasy adventure called Twig by Skottie Young and Kyle Strahm. The five-issue series launches its first issue in comic book shops on May 4th.
“Kyle and I both grew up in the age of Fantasy movies filled with all kinds of critters, creature, and unlikely heroes on epic quests,” said Young in an exclusive on the announcement at ComicBook.com. “This is our love letter to that time, which we’ve never really left!”
So what’s Twig about?
It’s the first day of Twig’s new job as a journeyer on a Jeff Smith’s Bone-esque quest to save a The Dark Crystal/Labyrinth-style world. Join our hesitant hero for an inspiring and imaginative tale of hope, heartache, and determination to overcome insurmountable odds.
Strahm added: “Skottie and I have built a world where sunny landscapes hide creepy dark corners. Every environment Twig travels is a character all its own. And each strange new friend may not be so friendly!”
The first issue will feature seven covers with variants by Young, Peach Momoko and Strahm. Check out a preview of the first issue below!
