IMAGE COMICS' THE OVERMAN

Image Comics has announced a December launch for The Overman, a five-issue science fiction mini-series written by Scott Reed and illustrated by Shane White.

"The story is a stark and direct manifesto of the future," Reed said. "It's set in a neo-deco futuristic Pittsburgh, and begins much like a detective story. The plot escalates beyond that, into something surreal and incredibly devastating."

Here's how Image describes the book:

"Hired killer Nathan Fisher stumbles upon a vast, cryptic plot to merge Mankind with a bio-mechanical species, a scheme that could result in the total enslavement of Earth and beyond. Risking everything, and skirting the edge of madness, Nathan must somehow find a way to stop the mastermind behind this apocalyptic goal; a powerful corporation called Omakon, and their ancient, perverse president, Arnold Reitch."
