Ahead of next week’s annual retailer event ComicsPRO, IDW Publishing has announced a new crime-themed imprint. Overseen by senior group editors Heather Antos and Jake Thomas , IDW Crime will launch with three miniseries this summer, each consisting of three 40-page issues
Seven Wives , written by Zoe Tunnell (Blade Maidens ), with art by V. Gagnon (The Heart Hunter ) and Tesslyn Bergin-Dicoi (Facing the Sun ), will arrive first in May. Set in a Mormon fundamentalist community in Arizona, the book sees a murder mystery unfold when the group’s patriarch is found dead. Two detectives must “unravel the horrors of brainwashing” to uncover which of the man’s wives killed him.
