PORTLAND, Ore. 10/15/2024 — The New York Times bestselling writer Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Grommets, Deadly Class ) and artist Paul Azaceta (Outcast by Kirkman and Azaceta ) will invite readers to the big top next year for an unforgettable show in the upcoming series, The Seasons . This all-new, ongoing series was first announced in an exclusive scoop withFangoria and is set to launch out of Remender’s Giant Generator line in January 2025 from Image Comics.
Azaceta will appear on the "Image Comics Presents: Breaking Ground" panel on Sunday, October 20 @ 11 a.m. in room 406.2 to share more details about the announcement.
Kicking off with a double-length premiere issue, Remender and Azaceta weave an elevated tale of whimsical horror unlike anything ever experienced in comics.
« Paul and I have worked tirelessly to create a world unlike anything we’ve ever done before, » said Remender. « Inspired by Miyazaki, Windsor McKay, and Tintin we wanted to make something that was delightful, poignant, and heartfelt. We hope you find the Seasons sisters as charming as we do. And the Ringleader and his imps as devilishly terrifying. Paul and Matheus have delivered one of the most spectacularly vibrant comics you’re going to see in the modern marketplace. »
Summer, Winter, Spring and Autumn are the Seasons Sisters, the daughters of the world-renowned Seasons Detectives. Ten years ago, their famous parents disappeared. Left to raise themselves, the sisters formed an unbreakable bond. Now that bond is tested as the sisters fall prey to sinister forces. The youngest sister, Spring, is the last hope of saving them from a fate worse than death. Will Spring be able to piece her shattered family back together before it’s too late for them all?
Azaceta added: “I’m having so much fun on this book. I think we took a big swing with it. We challenged ourselves and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The kind of project is what excites me about comics and what drives me to push my art in new directions.”
The Seasons promises to be the perfect new read for fans of Brubaker & Martín’s Friday , Young & Corona’s Middlewest , Tynion IV & Dell’Edera’s Something Is Killing the Children , and boundary-breaking horror in all forms.
