Dark Horse Comics has announced a new Jinxworld title set for release on November 2nd: The Ones. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Jacob Edgar and colors by K.J. Diaz, The Ones is being described as Good Omens meets Ghostbusters meets Goonies meets The Adam Project.
“Jacob is an amazing artist, and creating this brand-new, fun-as-hell world with him has been one of the greatest delights,” co-creator and writer Brian Michael Bendis said. “Wilson and the rest of The Ones are among my absolute favorite creations I’ve ever been a part of, and I can’t wait to introduce you to all of them.”
So what’s The Ones about?
Every single person in every mythology who were told they were THE ONE are brought together for the first time to defeat… THE ONE. The actual one. The real actual one.
“I’m beyond thrilled and still geeking out to be teaming with Brian on this project and bringing all these amazing, crazy characters to life,” co-creator and artist Jacob Edgar said. “I’ve always felt like comedy in comics is tough to do, but I genuinely laugh out loud reading these scripts as they come in. So, I’m excited for the comics world to get to experience what I’ve been enjoying. Beyond the comedy, we’ve got plenty of action coming your way as well, this book is a blast to work on.”
