Image Comics has announced that writer Kurtis J. Wiebe (Rat Queens) is teaming up with artist Johnnie Christmas (Sheltered) for an all-new science fiction / psychological body horror series Pisces, which is set to get underway this April.
“Pisces is a monster created from my deepest physical and psychological fears,” said Wiebe. “It’s a series I’ve been afraid to write. This is me facing my demons.” Christmas adds, “Surreal, horrifying and beautiful, Pisces is part lullaby and part nightmare, wrapped within a pulse-pounding voyage of discovery.”
Here’s the official synopsis…
PISCES introduces readers to former fighter pilot Dillon Carpenter, who found everything he wanted when he returned from the Vietnam War. A loving partner, a dream career training with NASA to travel through space, and soon, he will learn, a prime candidate for a secret mission, one that will forever change the world: First Contact. But as Dillon prepares, his war trauma returns and he’s haunted by dark visions of his future. There is but one constant: the voice whispering from the stars.
And here’s a preview…
Pisces #1 is set for release in April.
