More actual comics news came out of the New York Comic Con today as Dark Horse announced that it will be releasing Lone Wolf 2100 as a monthly series, and the writer is a name that’s quite familiar to horror fans.
From the Press Release:
From screenwriter Eric Heisserer (Shaper) and artist Miguel Sepulveda (Red Lanterns, Action Comics) comes Lone Wolf 2100, a reimagining of Kazuo Koike’s classic manga Lone Wolf and Cub set in the not-too-distant future.
“It’s a genuine privilege to get to write for a title as iconic as Lone Wolf and Cub, and the 2100 setting allows me an opportunity to tell a fresh iteration of this story,” said Heisserer, who penned The Thing and A Nightmare on Elm Street (as co-writer) remakes as well as Final Destination 5. “The best science fiction holds up a mirror to contemporary society and exaggerates all its flaws (but also its beauty). That’s what I aspire to do with the ideas behind Lone Wolf 2100.”
Lone Wolf 2100 #1 (of 4) will be in stores January 6, 2016, from Dark Horse Comics.
Synopsis:
AD 2100: A devastating man-made plague is turning the human race into cannibalistic monsters known as the Thrall. But there is hope: Young Daisy Ogami’s blood holds the secret to a cure—if Itto, her android protector, can get her to a place where it can be extracted.
