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.
"Wayward is a
coming-of-age story filled with mystery and emotion. It's also an ass-kicking
joy ride with teenagers beating the hell out of Japanese mythological
monsters,” said Zub. “Steve and I built this series from the ground up to play
to both our strengths. I can't wait for people to see what we have planned.”
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).
