Image Comics has announced that Descender, Autumnlands, and Postal will all be beginning new story arcs this November, which makes that Fall month a good time for curious readers to turn over a new leaf, as it were, and try these fan favorite series.
Official press releases:
DESCENDER SETS OUT ON NEW STORY ARC
The new issue of the critically acclaimed sci-fi epic will feature a special 3-D diorama cover
New York Times bestselling writer Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH, TRILLIUM, PLUTONA) and New York Times bestselling artist Dustin Nguyen (MANIFEST ETERNITY, BATGIRL) will launch the second story arc of the critically acclaimed series DESCENDER in November.
Previously in DESCENDER, readers met the young robot boy TIM-21 and his companions as they struggled in a universe where androids are outlawed and the skies are all but safe from bounty hunters and other thugs.
In DESCENDER #7, a mysterious figure from TIM-21’s past emerges and sends shockwaves through the galaxy.
“Arc 2 is called MACHINE MOON, and the title itself is a bit of a hint. We will see the hidden home world of the HARDWIRE, the robot resistance. More specifically, Tim-21, Telsa, Quon, and the gang will be brought there. But not all of TIM’s companions will make it that far,” said Lemire. “We will also delve deeper into the origin of TIM-22 and what makes him and TIM-21 unique from one another and what their existence means to one another and to the larger mystery. And on top of that we will introduce a MAJOR new character. One I am very excited about. One with links to TIM-21’s past and one who will change the course of the series completely.”
DESCENDER #7 cover A by Dustin Nguyen (Diamond code SEP150502) hits stores Wednesday, November 4th. Cover B by Lesley-Anne Green (Diamond code SEP150503) will feature a 3-D photo cover, and will also be available on Wednesday, November 4th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, October 12th.
THE AUTUMNLANDS SETS OUT ON A NEW STORY ARC
New York Times bestselling writer Kurt Busiek (ASTRO CITY, MARVELS) and rising-star artist Benjamin Dewey (I WAS THE CAT, TRAGEDY SERIES) will launch the second story arc of the high-fantasy epic THE AUTUMNLANDS in November.
Previously in THE AUTUMNLANDS, a secret enclave of wizards reached into their forgotten past to bring back a legendary hero to save their dying lands. But instead of the savior they’d hoped for, they got a completely unexpected kind of hero.
In THE AUTUMNLANDS #7, our lost and wounded heroes seek safety, but instead find something…bizarre.
Said Busiek: “There are answers, there are questions, there are clues about the nature of the world and how it changed from Learoyd’s era to the Autumnlands. And there’s beer. A breakfast. And angry goats. It’s our first look at the wider world of the Autumnlands, and it’s not what anyone was expecting. Least of all Learoyd and Dusty.” He added, “As usual, Ben Dewey’s making miracles happen on the page—and Jordie Bellaire’s taking it even further. I’ve got to up my game just to do justice to what they’re delivering. It’s stunning, stunning work.”
“Issue seven ends with one of the most ambitious spreads I’ve ever done and I have to build a model of it so I can make sense of it for any subsequent appearances!” said Dewey. “The [plot] details [Kurt] has revealed to me will be challenging, exciting and fun to manifest. I really hope that we are able to welcome some new readers to the series by expanding the scope and introducing unexpected characters. Current readers ought to enjoy seeing the world they’ve come to know unfold more and in surprising ways.” He continued, “I’m always excited to see what Jordie and JG will do overtop the raw inks to improve what Kurt and I establish. We’ve switched up some formatting elements and moved outside the cityscape so it should be a whole new playground for them to practice their wizardry.”
THE AUTUMNLANDS #7 (Diamond Code SEP150520) hits stores Wednesday, November 11th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, October 19th.
POSTAL EMBARKS ON A NEW STORY ARC
Matt Hawkins (IXTH GENERATION, THE TITHE), Bryan Hill (BROKEN TRINITY, NETHERWORLD), and artist Isaac Goodheart will launch a new story arc in their bold ongoing series POSTAL this November.
Previously in POSTAL, the townsfolk of Eden, Wyoming were rocked by the first official murder in twenty-five years. This event had special significance, owing to the fact that Eden is a haven for fugitive criminals waiting on their last chance at redemption. Crime of any sort is not tolerated by its ruling family, the youngest son of which is seen by the FBI as a weak link to exploit; the murder of a strange girl is their opportunity.
In POSTAL: FBI DOSSIER #1, readers discover why the FBI doesn’t raid Eden. Mayor Shiffron keeps these wolves at bay, but by what methods?
“We get a lot of questions from readers about the origins of Eden and how it works and this one shot dossier style book is intended to help fill in some of those gaps,” said Hawkins.
Hill added: “Until now we’ve seen the world of Eden from the inside, looking from its center to the outside world. In this one shot we see what the outside world, the few who are aware, think of Eden and gain an understanding of what keeps Eden safe from interference.”
POSTAL: FBI DOSSIER #1 Cover A by Linda Sejic (Diamond code SEP150541) hits stores Wednesday, November 11th. Cover B by Isaac Goodhart (Diamond Code SEP150542) will also be available on Wednesday, November 11th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers isMonday, October 19th.
