Matthew Rosenberg And Stefano Landini Promise ‘We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us’ In New Image Series

What’s the collateral damage after the end of a James Bond movie? Or more specifically, when a spy kills a mad scientist, what happens to the daughter and robot protector left behind? That’s the high concept behind We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us, a new six-issue miniseries from Matthew Rosenberg and Stefano Landini.

“Stefano and I wanted to tell a fun story about our favorite things—super-spies, mad scientists, robots, family, and revenge,” said Rosenberg. “What we ended up making somehow became much funnier, more heartfelt, and far weirder than what we set out to do.”

The new Image Comics series will launch in March with an extra-length first issue. In it, per PR, the former Punisher team of Rosenberg and Landini introduce “13-year-old Annalise who’s left all alone in the world after her mad-scientist father is killed by the world’s greatest spy. Now, alongside her dead dad’s robot bodyguard, Annalise has a choice: try to lead a normal life for the first time ever…or seek revenge and maybe overthrow the world order in the process.”

Added Landini, “I started from what I am passionate about, and therefore from design and pop culture, trying to unite them in giving a graphic form to a story that sees a father and a daughter as protagonists. The story is an adventure that in some ways recalls the James Bond of the ’70s, a Tokusatsu, but which is set in an imaginary world in which humanity coexists with robots, exoskeletons and futuristic weapons. I think that We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us summarizes all this and much more. I am really excited at the idea that, after so much time, readers will finally be able to read it. I can’t wait to discover their opinions.”

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 26. You can check out several interior pages and covers by Landini, Mattia De Lulis, Josh Hood, Chip Zdarsky, and Martin Simmonds, below. Click for larger versions.
