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 Winter
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.
