Image Comics has introduced that acclaimed creator Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Revival, Nightwing, Superman vs. Lobo) is teaming up with rising artist Zulema Scotto Lavina (Red Sonja, The Little Mermaid) for Hexware, a six-issue miniseries launching in December from Image Comics, in cooperation with the Italian media firm and inventive atelier Arancia Studio—home of Mirka Andolfo’s bestselling Image titles, different worldwide books, and IP.
Here’s how the writer describes the collection:
Hexware is an exhilarating new story—with an anime aptitude—the place Cyberpunk 2077 will get drenched in the supernatural and goes full-throttle Devil May Cry. In a corporate-ruled world the place class inequality is larger than ever, a determined, lonely populace is drawn to neo-spiritualism and hedge magic. When her teenage daughter is murdered, the Marks household is left asking the gods what they did to deserve this. But their android maid, Which-Where, has a distinct method. Perhaps if she requested the Devil…
Seeley is ecstatic to carry this style mashup to life:
“This is an idea that’s been burning in my head for a while. Working with Arancia Studios and Zulema allowed it to jump onto the page, and take on all kinds of new influences like horror manga and sci-fi anime. Hexware is part cyberpunk, part fantasy, and all about love, loss, and dark deals. Pull up a spell book and get your cyber-pagan on.”
Lavina added:
“A fascinating sci-fi world—soaked with just the right amount of witchcraft vibes—this is the journey of an android, through life and death. Working with Tim Seeley is a dream come true for me and I believe the readers will like where we are going with the story!”
In addition to a major cowl drawn by Lavina and a variant by Seeley, a particular variant drawn by Mirka Andolfo may also be obtainable.
