Image is making waves with their paranormal-based titles, and for good reason: they're good! While Shadowline tried to get into the game with the schizophrenic New World Order, M-Theory looks a little more solid. I love gamey pulp-fiction and that's what I was hoping for with their previous outing, so let's see if M-Theory fares better.This is a pulpificaciously official press release from Image Comics:
25 June 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - This September Shadowline/Image Comics brings back robots, spacemen and dames to their pulp roots with the three-issue mini-series, M-THEORY!
"It's long overdue for sci-fi pulp fiction to get back to its roots," said co-writer Dwight L. MacPherson. "My cohorts, Bruce Brown and Mark Barentine, are also massive fans of the genre and cannot wait to go all out!"
The three issue mini-series, co-written by Dwight L. MacPherson and Bruce Brown with artist Mark Barentine, is an action-packed romp exploring every facet of science fiction featured in the golden age of pulp novels. In the first issue alone, a government scientist receives a startling transmission of extraterrestrial origin leading to terrifying discoveries leading them to the outer reaches of our galaxy and a shocking nemesis like none other!
Shadowline President Jim Valentino added, "Pulp fiction has received its due in film, so it's a real pleasure to see Bruce, Dwight and Mark really go at it with such a high level of passion and vigor in the comic book format. I'm really looking forward to the results."
M-THEORY, a three-issue 32-page full color mini-series at $3.50, will be in stores September 17th.
