Sadly not part of the DuckTales and TaleSpin extended universe, Unfinished Tales is instead a brand new graphic novel from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips coming to Image Comics. And this time, things are getting meta in a book that Image teases in “Stephen King’s Misery meets The Talented Mr Ripley.”
“This is one of my favorite books we’ve ever done. I’ve always been fascinated by why people write, or in this case, why they don’t, and so I took the idea of writers block and ran into the darkness with it,” said Brubaker via press release. “Unfinished Tales is a deep dive into the world of writers and publishing, the pressure to succeed, and what that may cost you. It’s also a very fucked up thriller about egos and ambition, because it’s about writers.”
Sounds great! I’m in. Also, Image plugs that the Criminal TV show will finally be coming out in 2026 on Prime Video, which is good news, too.
Unfinished Tales is available in hardcover on November 11 at comic book stores, and December 8 at bookstores. Check out a preview and the cover below, as well as the synopsis:
Unfinished Tales follows Finnegan Blake, one of the most successful authors in the world. His best-selling books have even been made into one of the biggest shows on TV. But Finn can’t enjoy all the fame and fortune, because he’s ten years past his deadline on the last book in his epic fantasy series, and has no hope of ever finishing it. Until an old friend shows up with the perfect solution to his writer’s block. But as their secret pact turns dark and these writers’ egos clash, Finn will see how far he’s willing to go to get this final book onto the bestseller list. Most writers would kill for Finn’s life… will he?
