Portland, OR-based writer Dark Horse Comics is about to introduce readers to a brand new superhero for their hometown. The writer has teamed with clothier Portland Gear to create Saint John, a brand new superhero series that can even highlight what the Rose City has to supply. The four-issue miniseries comes from the artistic team of co-writer/artist Dan Schkade, co-writer/colorist Brennan Wagner, and letterer Frank Cvetkovic.
Here’s how Dark Horse describes Saint John:
Cynical Manhattan author Tori Slate travels to Portland, Oregon, to trace down the enigmatic Saint John–a masked man who roams town doing good deeds for strangers, showing at random and vanishing with no hint. Who is he? Why does he do it? And what’s his seemingly supernatural connection to the City of Roses? Tori goals to place these inquiries to the person himself … unaware that the solutions will change her life perpetually.
In an announcement asserting the series, Portland Gear founder/proprietor Marcus Harvey and Wagner each elaborated on their targets in bringing Saint John to readers:
“A few years ago, I set out to create a positive storyline for the city and utilize the connections I’ve had in town for many years.” mentioned founder and proprietor of Portland Gear, Marcus Harvey. “With the assistance of Brennan, Dan, and Mike Richardson, the idea of a superhero for Portland came to life—an individual radiating positivity and dedicated to community building. Portland is a magical place, and I believe that employing the medium of a comic book would provide a unique opportunity to share its wonders with the world.”
“When Marcus approached me about doing this project, I knew I had to pull in my longtime collaborator and dear friend—Dan Schkade,” mentioned series artist Brennan Wagner. “We were immediately hooked by the concept and wanted to be a part of it. Portland is the perfect stomping ground for an adventure like this. We can’t wait to introduce the world to Saint John.”
Along with a important cowl by Schkade and Wagner, Saint John #1 (of 4) can even be accessible with a variant cowl by Matt Wagner and Brennan Wagner. Check that out beneath, and look for the miniseries to reach in shops and digitally on Wednesday, September twentieth.
