Marvel
Knights: Hulk and Glory writer Joe Keatinge
teams up with artist Leila del Duca for her Image Comics debut in an all-new
ongoing series combining urban fantasy and globe-spanning adventure, SHUTTER.
Kate
Kristopher, once the most famous explorer on Earth—an Earth that’s far more
fantastical than the one we know, filled with demons, gorgons, phantom ninjas,
and various other monsters of lore—is forced to return to the adventurous life
she left behind when a family secret threatens to destroy everything she spent
her life protecting.
Kate’s
character can be described as a contemporary Indiana Jones. “We’re looking at
the 21st Century, where it’s at and where it’s going, and considering what the
Adventurer for its time might be like—what would Indiana Jones be like if
created in 2014? What’s after Lara Croft?” said Keatinge. “We’re at a
much different time than the pulps and serial Indiana Jones and, to an extent,
Lara Croft, were rooted in—information from all remote corners of the world
comes from great ease, where we’re more knowledgeable about other cultures,
where technology enables us to access we could only dream about. Where do you
go from there?"
Leila del
Duca was brought on for SHUTTER’s art by Keatinge himself. “Joe Keatinge was
the first industry name who showed real interest in my work and I really
enjoyed his writing on Glory and Hell Yeah,” del Duca explained.
“When he pitched Shutter to me, I was ecstatic about the concept. Joe's
imagination is incredible and he's writing me a script perfect for my
interests, with lush visuals and diverse subject matter.”
SHUTTER is a
new, ongoing fantasy, adventure series coming to Image Comics on April 9, 2014,
the first issue of which will feature variant covers by Dustin Weaver, Brandon
Graham, and Emma Ríos.
