Comixology Originals is going full-on science fiction with the announcement of three new titles, and one returning title, all to debut over the next few months.
First up is The Adventures of Ulysses Monarch, by Marc Guggenheim and Harvey Talibao, and adventure story set in the year 3026. Then, Taki Soma makes her Comixology Originals debut alongside John Broglia with Alienated, about humanity’s first encounter with alien life… Except all of the aliens (other than one, lonely alien) are all dead. Matthew Arnold and Davide Gianfelice deliver Outer Lands, about an Ancient Grecian prince who discovers a massive, sci-fi conspiracy. And Chuck Austen continues his series Edgeworld, now working as both writer and artist.
All of these books — and more! — will be discussed at Comixology’s WonderCon panel this weekend, details of which you can check out below.
