Published

Ray Fawkes has been a staple of the DC line for a few years now. He was shepherded in by Jeff Lemire but has shown he’s capable of so much more with his creator owned work. Today he set out to prove it by announcing a new horror title with Image Comics called “Intersect.” A title he’ll be writing and painting himself, he described it as body horror, like if the entirety of Twin Peaks took place in the Black Lodge.

COUNT ME IN.

A new ongoing horror series from Ray Fawkes that will haunt readers this Winterintersect01_cover_web_1

Bestselling cartoonist Ray Fawkes (Batman: Eternal, Constantine, One Soul, The People Inside) brings his signature darkness to Image Comics with INTERSECT, an all-new and shockingly original ongoing horror series coming November 2014.  

Bodies shift and merge, warring with themselves. Blood rains from the skies. A child’s song is translated into toxic, thought-destroying whispers. Everything is changing. Everything is wrong. This is the world of INTERSECT.

“I’m thrilled to present Intersect—a complete realization of a deeply haunting notion I’ve been eager to share for years,” said Fawkes. “I don’t believe I can properly prepare readers for the experience with any up front statements: you’ll have to read it for yourself.”

“As anyone who familiar with One Soul or The People Inside can tell you, Ray is one of comics’ brightest new talents, and it’s a genuine pleasure to have him here at Image,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics. “Intersect is completely different from everything else we’re doing, and all the better for it. If you want recycled ideas or reimagined characters, there’s the whole rest of the industry for you, but it’s the new ideas being developed by people like Ray are what will take this medium into the future.”

A story of struggle and transformation, INTERSECT takes readers on an unforgettable journey—a quest for understanding and purpose in a city gone truly mad. Readers must discard all assumptions about horror. INTERSECT, with its luminous, fully painted artwork, walks the line between the beautiful and the grotesque, the sensual and the horrific. Coming to Image Comics this November.

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”
