Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen reunite for a new ongoing dark fantasy series from Image Comics called Crowbound.
Crowbound begins when a distraught mother makes a dangerous pact with an ancient Scarecrow Queen to stop the government from taking her daughter.
“Crowbound is the darkest book Dustin and I have done together but still filled with heart and hope,” said Lemire. “It’s been rewarding building the expansive southern gothic sci-fi world of Crowbound and we can’t wait to unleash it on readers.”
Nguyen said, “I’m very excited to explore this new world and new ways to tell a story with Jeff again, it’s always a great time when we get together like this. Hope everyone joins us for the adventures as they did on Descender and Little Monsters.”
“One of the great privileges of my position is that I get to read a lot of great comics before they come out, and let me tell you, ‘great’ doesn’t even do this one justice,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. “As anyone familiar with their past collaborations knows, Jeff and Dustin never disappoint, but Crowbound is on another level. The first issue is one of most darkly beguiling series debuts I’ve had the pleasure to read and the really good news is that it’s just the beginning of a storytelling journey that gets better with each issue.”
Crowbound #1 will be available at your local comic book shop on September 2.
