‘Hexware’ Is A New Supernatural Cyberpunk Series From Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Revival, Nightwing, Superman vs. Lobo) and up-and-coming artist Zulema Scotto Lavina (Red Sonja, The Little Mermaid) team up for the forthcoming six issue miniseries, Hexware. Set to launch in December from Image Comics, this series is another that will be published in partnership with the Italian media company, Arancia Studio—house of Mirka Andolfo’s bestselling Image titles such as Sweet Paprika.

“Hexware is a thrilling new story—with an anime flair—where Cyberpunk 2077 gets drenched in the supernatural and goes full-throttle Devil May Cry.

In a corporate-ruled world where class inequality is greater than ever, a desperate, lonely populace is drawn to neo-spiritualism and hedge magic. When her teenage daughter is murdered, the Marks family is left asking the gods what they did to deserve this. But their android maid, Which-Where, has a different approach. Perhaps if she asked the Devil…”

Speaking about this futuristic supernatural series, Seeley said:

“This is an idea that’s been burning in my head for a while. Working with Arancia Studios and Zulema allowed it to jump onto the page, and take on all kinds of new influences like horror manga and sci-fi anime. Hexware is part cyberpunk, part fantasy, and all about love, loss, and dark deals. Pull up a spell book and get your cyber-pagan on.”

Lavina added:

“A fascinating sci-fi world—soaked with just the right amount of witchcraft vibes—this is the journey of an android, through life and death. Working with Tim Seeley is a dream come true for me and I believe the readers will like where we are going with the story!”
