Hickman’s new series is a ‘Secret’
Jonathan Hickman is all over the place, or so it seems. In addition to his awesome runs on both Fantastic Four and FF (which brought me back to reading comics in general and The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine in particular after a 15 year absence), and helming the new Ultimates, now he’s starting a new series over at Image called Secret. A noir espionage thriller from a great sci-fi writer? Sounds pretty cool to me. They need to work on the creepy cover though. Read the press release from Image after the jump.
Berkeley, CA — A man shot in London, a break-in at a law firm, an accountant’s computer decrypted. Random, unconnected events. Or are they? Jonathan Hickman will reveal the connection in his new espionage thriller series SECRET, drawn by Ryan Bodenheim, and debuting from Image Comics in April.
At the intersection of government and private security firms lies a secret that can destroy two governments. It has lay dormant for twenty years, but if it awakens, civilization as we know may be what pays the price. And keeping this secret hidden are men and women who know the power they hold all too well.
SECRET is the first ongoing series by Hickman (Fantastic Four, Ulitmate Comics) with Image Comics, following the science fiction miniseries THE RED WING. Hickman’s previous Image work includes the breakout miniseries THE NIGHTLY NEWS and PAX ROMANA and his previous collaboration with Bodenheim, A RED MASS FOR MARS.
SECRET #1 will be in stores and on digital platforms on April 11. It is a monthly 32-page, full color comic book for $3.50 per issue. It is available for pre-order from Diamond Comics (FEB120405).
