You've read about it, you've heard about it, now it's here. Up-and-coming writer Sam Humphries' (CBGB, Fraggle Rock) and Steven Sanders' (FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE, Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age), provocative sci-fi one-shot OUR LOVE IS REAL is coming to Image Comics this November after capturing the attention of the comics industry over the summer.
Set in the not-too-distant future, OUR LOVE IS REAL is a bold story about the many odd forms that love can take. Originally self-published in limited quantities, Humphries and Sanders were eager to share their story with a wider audience following the torrent of critical accolades OUR LOVE IS REAL received from fans, the comics press and creators alike.
"The response to the book, even in limited release, has been nothing short of amazing," said Humphries. "Image Comics has embraced our twisted little comic inside and out. We know we've found a great place to bring OUR LOVE IS REAL to a wider audience."
"This is a unique book," added Sanders. "We weren't sure how it would be received. But we love it, and apparently a lot of other people do too! We can't wait for everyone to get a chance to see it for themselves."
In OUR LOVE IS REAL, the plantsexuals are rioting in the streets for equal rights, humans are falling in love with dogs, and crystals are much more than just jewelry! When a chance encounter on the job changes a riot cop's life forever, he finds himself caught in a bizarre love triangle that blurs romance, crime, and lust beyond recognition.
OUR LOVE IS REAL (SEP110383), a uniquely formatted 8x8, 24-page black and white, sci-fi satire comic for $3.99, will be available for order in the September issue of Previews and goes on sale in stores November 2nd.
