Jordan Hart and co-writer David Ebeltoft staff up with artist Chiara Raimondi for a five-issue miniseries, The Cabinet, from Image Comics’ Syzergy line, launching in February 2024. Each challenge may also characteristic an interconnected variant cowl by artist Marguerite Sauvage.
The Cabinet follows an Indian-American teen, Avani, and midwestern jock, Trent, on a teleporting mission throughout a post-Cold War panorama to gather weird relics. Why? Well, as a result of they should summon the arcane powers of a resplendent Seventeenth-century cupboard to repair a teeny-tiny mistake the final time Avani used it… a gaffe that inadvertently unleashed an historic evil from its jail and killed her dad and mom.
“Equally beautiful and creepy, medieval Display Cabinets (Kabinettschranks) inspired David and I after seeing one in person at a local museum,” mentioned Hart. “We immediately knew we wanted to build a story around a baroque version with arcane power—but sidestepped a dark, gothic horror tale in favor of a vibrant supernatural adventure set in the early ’90s. The result is a world that combines Constantine with Clarissa Explains It All through a Lisa Frank-esque lens that only Chiara could deliver.”
Ebeltoft added: “Jordan and I, while cooking up The Cabinet, had an underlying rule for our occult and character-driven adventure—always have fun. And that’s what we did. Even when Avani, our heroine, comes face to face with uber-dark moments and calamitous escapades, our emotional meter never dips into depressing. It swings dramatic for sure, but that just makes the levity before and after those tense moments more rewarding… for us at least… hopefully for y’all too.”
“Drawing The Cabinet truly took my art to another level,” mentioned Raimondi. “I’ve never had the chance of drawing such fun, unhinged and vivid pages as the ones written by Jordan and David before. I really felt I could create without limits, and I wanted my colors to fully reflect the fun I had in putting this project together! You’ll never know what crazy and hilarious challenge Avani and Trent have to face next, so put on your best ’90s outfit and get ready to be hooked!”
The Cabinet #1 will probably be obtainable at comedian e-book retailers on Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
