Image Comics has announced a new story arc for Jim Zub, Steven Cummings, and Tamra Bonvillain’s Wayward, in which the new gods of Japan battle the old myths. You can preorder this until October 26th, and when you do, you may prefer the A covers to the variants, as they are connecting pieces to a larger artwork.
Official press release:
WAYWARD TAKES OFF IN A NEW STORY ARC
Collect all five issues in this story arc to fit them into a massive WAYWARD illustrationWriter Jim Zub (SKULLKICKERS) and artists Steven Cummings (THE DARKNESS, Gene Pool) and Tamra Bonvillain (RAT QUEENS, Black Dawn) will launch a new story arc in their spectacularly supernatural ongoing series WAYWARD this November. WAYWARD #11’s cover A will be part one of five connecting covers—one per each issue in this story arc—that will fit together into a panorama illustration.
Previously in WAYWARD, Rori Lane faced some unique challenges settling into her new life in Japan. She and an eclectic band of other gifted youths battled the dark underbelly of the supernatural. The battle was not without its losses, and it continues to rage.
In WAYWARD #11, the new gods of Japan rise in Tokyo and the world will never be the same. The question is: will the old myths survive?
“Our second story arc ended with massive revelations and the repercussions of those will ripple across Japan and beyond,” said Zub. “The supernatural forces that hunt our teens have been thrust out into the open and a clash between the old world and new will push Tokyo to the brink of disaster. It’s big crazy stuff and I can’t wait for readers to see what we have in store.”
