Acclaimed artist/designer Ashley
Wood is preparing to launch his latest comic-book project at IDW this
summer with String Divers, a comic series blending a team of robot
adventures and string-theory physics! String Divers, directed and
overseen by Wood and written by Wood’s Zombies vs. Robots co-creator Chris
Ryall, features stunning artwork by Nelson Daniel and a concept that
grows bigger the smaller it gets!
Spun out of Ashley Wood’s
3A Toys’ line of titular figures, String Divers
incorporates string theory as threats to our universe at the sub-microscopic
level have dire and lasting repercussions in our universe and across all
dimensions.
“A chance to combine high
adventure on a scale both bigger and smaller than what I’ve done before is
appealing enough,” said writer/IDW Chief Creative Officer Chris Ryall,
“but a chance to again work with Ash Wood and Nelson Daniel on a series packed
with crazy action, mis-applied theoretical physics and micro-scale intrigue
that affects the larger universe being built here is about as fun as comics
gets.”
Ashley Wood will be
providing story direction, concept design, art direction and covers for String
Divers. Wood and Ryall are joined by Nelson Daniel, fresh off a long
run on IDW’s Judge Dredd, on art. Daniel, who previously partnered with
Ryall on the Stephen King/Joe Hill project, Road Rage,
will again be providing art and colors on both interiors and variant covers of
each issue.
“It’s always a pleasure to work
with IDW and Chris,” said String Divers creator and toy designer Ashley
Wood. “String Divers is just the first in a series of comics that
sees IDW and 3A combine forces!”
String Divers #1, a 32-page, $3.99 comic, launches
in August!
