You won’t have Chuck Austen to kick around anymore. The legendary creator is back for one more comic book for DSTLRY with Defiant, a new science-fiction series featuring art by Pat Olliffe.
“This series is a deeply personal journey that merges spacefaring adventure with the obstacles of parenthood,” Austen said via press release. “I’m honored to mark it as my final comic, and having Patrick onboard to join me in this final adventure.”
Austen is probably best known for his, shall we say, controversial work on X-Men, but he has also worked on dozens of TV projects, including Steven Universe and She-Ra. In the book, per PR, “Sandusky, a retired veteran from a cosmic war that spans a galaxy across countless species and planets. On a final mission to bury his son, Sandusky unravels a conspiracy behind the battles that consumed years of his life and implicated his son as a traitor, leading him on a final quest of vengeance spanning light years.”
“The sheer scope of DEFIANT has to be seen to be believed,” added Olliffe. “This is one of the most ambitious, sprawling projects I’ve had the honor to co-create, and Chuck has conceived a universe of planets, species, and timelines that would take decades to unpack in their detail.”
Defiant #1 will hit stores in March, 2025. Check out the covers, below.
