Humanoids Presents Time-Bending New Graphic Novel ‘Chronophage’ From Tim Seeley And Ilias Kyriazis

by Olly MacNamee

This February, Humanoids will be debuting Chronophage, a new and inventive and time-bending original graphic novel from Tim Seeley, (Hack/Slash, Revival, Money Shot), and artist Ilias Kyriazis (Collapser). And features an introduction from Tom King.

“When Chloe begins a passionate relationship with a traveling businessman, her life suddenly changes for the better—and not just because she’s getting laid. Lost friends return, and new opportunities suddenly appear. Soon, though, she begins experiencing horrific encounters with ghostly beings, eventually revealed to be the echoes of moments she has now no longer lived. Her new lover, Heath, stands revealed as a chronophage, a terrifying alien being who subsists on days literally stolen from Chloe’s personal history. Can Chloe recapture her lost moments, or is the life she once knew—including the daughter she had at sixteen years old—gone forever?”

Seeley has worked with a great deal of comic book publishers, so why Humanoids for this particular project?

“Humanoids has let us tell a contained horror romance here… a high concept, terrifying tale about relationships and the time we put into them. No matter how long a life can seem, the moments we share with the people we love are finite and can usually be counted in hours. That scares me more than just about anything else. Ilias brings a real humanity to this story, and I think you’re going to fall in love with both our leads, even if one of them isn’t what they say they are.”
