Le scénariste Jim Zub (Skullkickers) a déclaré sur son compte twitter qu’il s’agissait d’une nouvelle série imaginée par ses soins.

« La série parfaite pour les fans révoltés de Buffy », c’est avec cette phrase d’accroche que l’éditeur Image Comics lève le voile sur la nouvelle série du scénariste Jim Zub et du dessinateur Steve Cummings intitulée Wayward. L’histoire suit Rorie Lane, jeune fille complexée, qui, après la découverte de ses mystérieux pouvoirs, se retrouve à devoir combattre les monstres mythologiques du Japon avec ses nouveaux amis, en plein milieu des rues de Tokyo.

[quote] Can Rori unlock the secret to her powers in time to fight mythological monsters?

Writer Jim Zub (SKULLKICKERS, Samurai Jack) teams up with penciler Steve Cummings (Legends of the Dark Knight, Deadshot) and color artist John Rauch (INVINCIBLE) to create a Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a new generation in WAYWARD, coming from Image Comics in August.

Rori Lane is an outsider by nature, but moving to Tokyo to live with her single Mom has only exacerbated her weirdness. She’s feeling out of sorts, worried about fitting in and, as if that wasn’t enough, strange things are beginning to happen. Glowing symbols and patterns are starting to appear before her eyes… and she’s the only one who seems to notice.

In WAYWARD a group of teens living in Tokyo find a common bond in manifesting strange, supernatural abilities. As they begin to unravel the mystery behind their powers and their common source they’re drawn into a war with the vestiges of Japan’s monstrous mythic past.

WAYWARD #1 arrives in stores on 8/27, and will be available for $3.50 with special variant covers by Alina Urusov (Birds of Prey), Jeff “Chamba” Cruz (Street Fighter), and Adam Warren (Empowered).[/quote]

[quote=« Jim Zub »]Rori is a half-Irish, half-Japanese girl who’s never actually been to Japan. Her mother is Japanese but Rori grew up in Ireland. The family travelled around for her father’s work, but they never went back to Japan. She has Japanese cultural elements her mother has instilled in her – language lessons, cultural lessons, and she’s seen tons of photos – All of that has given her grounding in what Japan is all about, but no matter how much research she’s done, she has no way of truly understanding it until she experiences the country firsthand.

Once her parents divorced, Rori stayed with her father for a while, but it didn’t work out. In her second year of high school, she moves to Tokyo to be with her mother, and that’s where the story begins, with her arriving in Tokyo for the first time. She has these expectations about what Japan is and what Japanese culture is and what living with her mother is going to be like but the reality of that, and beyond that, the hyper-reality of the supernatural, is going to take hold.[/quote]

[quote]I’ve been a fan of Japan – anime and manga, but also the culture and history as a whole – since high school. That, along with working at UDON and travelling there several times for business and pleasure, helped inform « Wayward’s » story. It’s a mixture of research and life experiences.

Being at UDON taught me a ton about publishing and project management – invaluable info for when I started my creator-owned books at Image – and it also opened me up to dealing with Japanese companies as we worked on video game and publishing projects overseas. Working at UDON also introduced me to Steve Cummings, which started us on the path to creating « Wayward » together.

Steve is raising a family in Yokohama, just outside Tokyo, and his involvement is integral to getting the details of Japan spot-on. Steve, along with Zack Davisson, who writes cultural essays on Japan in the back of each issue, work with me to ensure that the story feels grounded in the « real » Tokyo. The city has an incredible amount of variety and we wanted to make sure that people saw it as it really is instead of just the high rises and temples that tend to show up in most media.[/quote]

[size=150]INTERVIEW DE L’ARTISTE STEVE CUMMINGS[/size]

[quote]I do quite a bit of reading on Yokai and Japanese folklore to look for little nuggets of good material we can use in the series. Steven also suggests a lot of different stuff as it goes along, specific creatures he wants to illustrate or places he thinks would make for a good setting for specific scenes. Zack Davisson, who writes the essay material in the back of each issue, reads over the story outlines and scripts and makes suggestions as well in terms of how some other history/mythological elements might be reflected or symbolism we can add to the mix.

The nice thing about mythology, and this holds true for almost every culture, is that a lot of it is murky; contradicting stories, changing details. We can pick and choose which versions of these creatures we use and fill in gaps with our own ideas just as people do with Euro-centric mythology like vampires, werewolves, or dragons. We can be pretty accurate to the lore and still do a lot of world building of our own.[/quote]
