As announced yesterday (July 25) at San Diego Comic-Con, Abrams ComicArts is expanding with a new, monthly comics line called Abrams Comics. And in the go big or go home nature of Comic-Con, they’re kicking it off with new books by Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller.
The big new one is Human Nature, a new monthly ongoing series written by Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and Jeff Welch, with art by Martín Morazzo, colors by Chris O’Halloran, and letters by Aditya Bidikar. Hitting stores on November 20, 2024, we’ve got the synopsis and first look at the art and cover, below.
From Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky and his writing and producing partner Ari Handel, along with Jeff Welch, comes Human Nature, a social satire of a bizarre yet fathomable future. Drawn by comic book industry giant Martín Morazzo, Human Nature follows the ego-maniacal, Nebraskan chicken magnate Duke. Duke has almost all the world’s resources at his disposal. Once an everyman, Duke managed to work (and intimidate) his way into an endless fortune. Even though he has almost everything, there’s one thing even the richest man in the world can’t buy: immortality. Or can he?
Strange, thought-provoking, and, at times, gruesome, read the mini-series Human Nature to get a glimpse of a future resulting from unchecked greed, corporate corruption, and ethically questionable science.
Next up is Pandora, created by Miller with art by Emma Kubert. The first collected volume of the series will hit from Abrams on October 8, and then starting with issue #7 — which will hit stores on December 18, 2024 — it will continue to be released, every other month.
Kubert provides the pencils, inks, and colors. It’s written by Miller, Chris Silvestri, and Anthony Maranville. Peter Carlsson provides letters, and Silenn Thomas is Artist Producer.
Check out the synopsis for Pandora #7, and some art below:
Following directly from the first volume, Annabeth finds herself in another world, one overwhelmed by dark magic and demons beyond imagining. Here begins her hero’s journey to face the monsters of the netherworld and discover its secrets. How will this change her? Is she ready for this test?
Finally, while no art is available at this time, Miller is launching a second ongoing series with Abrams: Invasive Species. It’s written by Miller, with pencils and ink finishes by Ryan Benjamin. John Livesay also provides inks, Alex Sinclair is on colors, and Pete Carlsson is on letters.
The synopsis is below, and the first issue of the every-other-month series will hit stores on January 8, 2025.
Little Becky could fight the aliens if she could just get them out of her brain! Frank Miller, Ryan Benjamin, John Livesay, Alex Sinclair, and Pete Carlsson bring the classic Alien Invasion story to a little town just like yours. The aliens are not OUT there, they’re IN there.
