Brimming
with political conspiracy and raging with rival alien mobs, nothing is ever as
it seems on the streets of RED CITY. Writer Daniel Corey (MORIARTY) and artist
Mark Dos Santos bring you a whole new take on American crime noir, coming this
June to Image Comics.
In the wake
of a system-wide civil war, hard-nosed interplanetary investigator Cal Talmage
is given a simple mission to find a missing ambassador’s daughter in Mars
Central City. It all seems routine at first, but an experienced vet like Cal knows
when trouble is brewing.
Coming off a
run on the acclaimed series MORIARTY, also published by Image Comics, writer
Daniel Corey brings you a new mystery that combines femme fatales and
hard-boiled heroics with classic science fiction. Federal Security Officer
Talmage just wants to be left alone, but with a girl in danger, a corrupt mayor
in power and the lives of an entire race at stake, he’s got some tough choices
ahead, because no one comes out clean in this town.
“You might
say RED CITY is like L.A. Confidential on Mars,” said Corey. “Ellroy and
Chandler shaking hands with Bradbury. We’ve got a likable-but-troubled cop who
tackles a complex case in the midst of a vast criminal conspiracy, and it
happens to take place on Mars. The really exciting thing is that we’re building
an entire world, and the art of Mark Dos Santos brings a retro-futuristic vibe
that will make RED CITY the most dangerous place in the New Solar System.”
The first of four issues of RED CITY arrives in stores
6/11, and can be pre-ordered using Diamond code APR140490.
