Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt & David Rubín’s Cosmic Detective From Image

Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt and David Rubín labored in secret for 2 years on an unique graphic novel Cosmic Detective, an epic science fiction thriller that asks: when a God is murdered, who solves the crime? Funded on Kickstarter final yr in hardcover, it will likely be made extra out there in bookstores and comedian retailers in September as a paperback this yr from Image Comics.

Last night time a God was murdered. In a grimy metropolis, filled with the seediest crimes you can consider, somebody, one way or the other, has killed a cosmic deity.And who investigates the homicide of a god? Not simply anybody, that is for rattling certain. Enter our Detective. He’s bought a spouse, a child, and a seemingly regular day job as a personal eye. But for years, he is been working for a secret underground cabal of shadowy figures, a corporation dedicated to an uneasy alliance with cosmic forces past our imagining. The homicide of the god threatens to unhinge the gods and tear aside the very cloth of our actuality. Only our detective stands in the best way of utter destruction. But will the thriller he uncovers be worse than the catastrophe he is making an attempt to avert? And will his thoughts crack below the revelations he is about to uncover earlier than he can do something about it? COSMIC DETECTIVE is the primary creator-owned collaboration from New York Times bestselling authors Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt. The e-book was written particularly for the internationally award-winning artist David Rubín.

“Matt Kindt has been one of my closest friends since I’ve been in comics and we’ve collaborated before but never on a creator owned project where we could just go crazy and push each other in the most fun ways we could imagine,” mentioned Lemire. “And there was only one artist who could somehow translate all our cosmic craziness, David Rubín. Cosmic Detective was a blast from start to finish and David made it one of the best looking books I’ve ever been a part of.”

Kindt added: “Jeff and I had a blast cooking up this story but there was a point in the process while working with David that it was clear that David was possessed by an other-worldly energy and we just got out of his way and tried not to get melted by his cast-off cosmic radiation.”

“Working on Cosmic Detective was a real gift as an artist; that pages are full of surprises and energy,” mentioned Rubín. “I hope that all that energy and love that we put into that book arrives at the hearth of the readers—this is a love letter to them, to the people who love comics, and for Jack Kirby too.”
