New & Upcoming Comics Spotlight: Sci-Fi

GLEEM GN

(W) Freddy Carrasco (A/CA) Freddy Carrasco

Imbued with cyberpunk attitude and in the rebellious tradition of afrofuturism, GLEEM is drawn with a fierce momentum hurtling towards a future world. Carrasco's distinct cinematic style layers detailed panels and spreads, creating a multiplicity of perspectives, at once dizzying and hypnotic. Vignettes unspool in proximity to our own social realities and expand into the outer layers of possibility.

Couldn't find too many previews but you can check out some art at this review here.

MANS BEST #1 (OF 5) 


(W) Pornsak Pichetshote (A/CA) Jesse Lonergan

But after the ship crashes and their crew is captured, these loyal pets are their owners' only hope. Outfitted in outrageous mech suits, these three best friends must traverse a hostile world to rescue their owners - leaving them the only hope for a humanity that might not be worth saving, in an adventure threatening to tear their friendship apart.


Pornsak Pichetshote, writer of the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning The Good Asian, soon to be adapted by director James Wan, in his first collaboration with Eisner Award-nominated rising star artist Jesse Lonergan (Hedra, Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea) provide an action-packed sci-fi romp with something to say in a tale that spans the furthest reaches of space to tug at readers' hearts.
