New comic book series this Sept.
I've been working on this for awhile and can officially make the news public: I have a new monthly comic book series coming out in September. MAN-EATERS reunites the creative team from MOCKINGBIRD -- artist Kate Niemczyk, colorist Rachelle Rosenberg, letterer Joe Caramagna, and writer Chelsea Cain (cough, I love her) -- along with cover artist and production wizard Lia Miternique and artist Stella Greenvoss. It's kind of a big deal. It's my first comic since MOCKINGBIRD, so I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some Twitter-related PTSD. But I also have much better privacy settings and a hair trigger. I know the story goes that I left comics after MOCKINGBIRD, that I was driven away, dropped off at the state line by some trolls in a pick-up truck. I didn't leave comics. Comics left me. I've been right here. I've been busy, working on this series, developing the exact story I wanted to tell, finding the perfect home for it - Image Comics - and then putting together my dream team. (If you've ever seen the tv show, The A-Team, it was EXACTLY like that.) MAN-EATERS combines a lot of my interests: cats, murder, feminism, propaganda, dad with beards, detectives, people who are good at their jobs, sarcastic t-shirts, etc. I think that you will like it.
Here's the pitch:
A mutation in Toxoplasmosis causes menstruating women to turn into ferocious killer wildcats—easily provoked and extremely dangerous. As panic spreads and paranoia takes root, the fate of the world rides on the shoulders of one twelve-year-old girl. Part Cat People, part The Handmaid’s Tale, all pro-feline agenda.
I'll post some art when I can.
Hey, thanks for reading.
