Image Comics on Tuesday announced that artists Tony Moore and Cory Walker will rotate on Fear Agent, a new science-fiction series written by Rick Remender.
The two will rotate on five-issue story arcs
through the future of the series, with Moore on #1-5 and Walker on #6-10.
"When Rick and Tony asked me to join the team they presented the book as an opportunity to make the best comic book we were capable of," Walker said. "The challenge to do better than our best work was enticing but in the end it came down to premise, I love the genre. We're setting out to make Sci-Fi the new horror."
"Tony and Cory are with out question two of the most talented artists
in comics today," Remender said. "With Tony and
Cory feeding off of each other artistically Iım seeing both of them
reach new heights on Fear Agent. But donıt trust my biased opinion--
the art speaks for itself.
"With A-list inker, Sean Parsons, and color-god, Lee Loughridge, Tony's pencils have never looked better. The amazing Brian Buccellato colors Cory Walker perfectly; these guys were born to work together."
To get the word out, Image has rushed a special edition preview comic to print as well as full sized limited edition movie posters. The
comics will sport an exclusive jam cover by Walker and Moore as well as
six full pages from each of their runs. The comics and posters will be
limited to 2,000 copies and will be available exclusively at Comic-Con International and Wizard World Chicago.
The series launches in October.
HOUSE OF M DIRECTOR'S CUT
Marvel Comics has announced a July 20 release date for House of M #1 Director's Cut.
The book will repackage the first issue of the series by Brian Michael Bendis and Oliver Coipel with "a number of extras."
Essad Ribic provides the cover.
"I can't tell you how excited I am that the entire comics industry has jumped on the House of M bandwagon," said Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada. "We've promised some earth-shattering shakeups by the time it's over, and it looks like fans and retailers are now seeing in this massive event what we've known all along. It isn't just about the future changes, but also about the emotions of the characters as they get to that point."
The book will cost $3.99.
