Transhumans Go On Quests for Doom In This Week's Comics
Jonathan Hickman and JM Ringuet may have come up with a winner with
their new series Transhuman. Add in a new anthology of SF and fantasy
for kids, some collections of classic and... well, less than classic
material and a new comic based on Peter David's Star Trek: New Frontier
series of novels, and this Wednesday may be the day that you have to
give all your money to the comic man. Find out more after the jump.
Image Comics' Transhuman is a new series by Pax Romana and The Nightly
News creator Jonathan Hickman and artist JM Ringuet that oozes potential
joy for the faithful. A "mockumentary" about genetic engineering,
superheroes and the effort to mass-market a combination of the two, the
series looks set to confirm Hickman's reputation for both
visually-arresting work and an ability to play well within the SF genre.
If you want to know more, you can find a 5-page preview of the first
issue here (PDF).
