HUMANOIDS' SPACE BASTARDS
Humanoids has announced a Jan. 13 launch for Space Bastards, a 44-page first issue by writers Eric Peterson and Joe Aubrey and artist Darick Robertson.
Here's how the book is described:
"Violence is everywhere. Corporations are exploiting the weak and disenfranchised. And while America has taken to the cosmos, scientific advancements and technology have outpaced civilization as we know it. Even getting mail between planets is damn near impossible. Enter the Intergalactic Postal Service, a deadly organization with a brutal, mercenary business model. Whoever delivers the package gets the cash. And every delivery can be made by any means necessary.
"David S. Proton is a meek, unemployed accountant desperate for money. David joins the Intergalactic Postal Service only to be paired with Manny Corns (a.k.a. The Manicorn), a sardonic brute who thrives on the competition provided by the company. And things only get worse from there."
"I have long admired Humanoids for the quality material they publish. I guess it was time to lower the bar," Robertson said. "Space Bastards is a longtime brainchild of Eric Peterson and Joe Aubrey, their labor of love that I brought my own brand of crazy to with my character designs and storytelling. It's a fun world, where things like science don't get in the way of the fiction. It's a wild ride."
Space Bastards kicks off with the seven-part "Tooth and Mail" arc.
"Darick Robertson's art for the seven-part story 'Tooth and Mail' is gritty, sleazy and hyper violent," Peterson said. "It really sets the tone for the series."
Later in the year, Peterson and Aubrey will be joined by artists Simon Bisley and Clint Langley for a series of high-octane Space Bastards specials, a single one-shot followed by two annuals.
"The standalone format of the upcoming Space Bastards specials allows us to really showcase the individual storytelling strengths of these amazing artists," Aubreu said.
