Angelic, Vol. 1 Coming in May

A BITTERSWEET ADVENTURE OBSESSION ARRIVES IN ANGELIC, VOL. 1
A selection of eye-catching preview pages revealed 

PORTLAND, OR, 03/23/2018 — Eisner-nominated writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, CRY HAVOC, X-Men Legacy, Godshaper) and star artist Caspar Wijngaard (LIMBO, Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed) present readers with an all-new Young Adult fantasy adventure in ANGELIC, VOL. 1: HEIRS & GRACES. It will collect issues #1-6 of the series and hit stores this May.

Winged monkeys! Techno-dolphins! Quantum alleycats! In ANGELIC, humanity’s long gone. Its memory lingers only as misunderstood rituals among mankind’s leftovers: the genetically modified animals they used and abused for eons. But for one young flying monkey, QORA, the routines are unbearable. All she wants is to explore. Instead she’s expected to settle down, to become a mother...to lose her wings.

ANGELIC, VOL. 1 is a powerful and timely parable about religion, repression and female rebellion, but all layered beneath joyous animal antics in the ruins of civilization. Expect WALL-E by way of Animal Farm in a watershed title among YA comics, which will tug at readers’ heartstrings.

ANGELIC, A Post-Apocalyptic Fable, Coming in September

ANGELIC SOARS ABOVE THE REST THIS SEPTEMBER

PORTLAND, OR, 06/16/2017 — Eisner-nominated writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, CRY HAVOC, X-Men Legacy, Godshaper) and rising-star artist Caspar Wijngaard (LIMBO, Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed) present your new bittersweet adventure obsession in ANGELIC. Suitable for ages 11 through 111, the new series will launch from Image Comics this September.

"Angelic's about teenage flying monkeys having adventures in the far future, because that's totally a genre now,” said Spurrier. “But in the best traditions of age-friendly fiction—think Pixar or Ghibli—there's also a bunch of meaty themes beneath the fun: religion, parenthood, technology and responsibility, it's all in the mix. Ultimately it's a tale about the Earth—after us. And all rendered in the unmistakably vivid color and crackle of superstar-in-the-making Caspar Wijngaard.”
