Killer clowns: they’re all the rage right now. And while we can’t promise the disturbing harlequin featured on the cover to The Seasons #1 is a killer clown, we do know that the new Image Comics series from Rick Remender and Paul Azaceta is ready to bring some serious horror next year.
“Paul and I have worked tirelessly to create a world unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Remender via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Inspired by Miyazaki, Windsor McKay, and Tintin we wanted to make something that was delightful, poignant, and heartfelt. We hope you find the Seasons sisters as charming as we do. And the Ringleader and his imps as devilishly terrifying. Paul and Matheus have delivered one of the most spectacularly vibrant comics you’re going to see in the modern marketplace.”
Added Azaceta, “I’m having so much fun on this book. I think we took a big swing with it. We challenged ourselves and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The kind of project is what excites me about comics and what drives me to push my art in new directions.”
The book kicks off with a double-sized premiere issue focusing on the Seasons Sisters — Summer, Winter, Spring, and Autumn — daughters of the “world-renowned Seasons Detectives. Ten years ago, their famous parents disappeared. Left to raise themselves, the sisters formed an unbreakable bond. Now that bond is tested as the sisters fall prey to sinister forces. The youngest sister, Spring, is the last hope of saving them from a fate worse than death. Will Spring be able to piece her shattered family back together before it’s too late for them all?”
If you’re curious to know more about the book, Azaceta will appear on the “Image Comics Presents: Breaking Ground” panel at New York Comic Con on Sunday, October 20 @ 11 a.m. in room 406.2.
