‘Nights’: Image Comics’ New Urban Fantasy Ongoing Announced

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Wyatt Kennedy (Bolero) andartist Luigi Formisano are producing a new ongoing urban fantasy adventure called Nights. And coming this October from Image Comics.

“It’s 2003, Supernatural creatures casually exist amongst humans, and America is made up of 31 states. Vince Okonma has lost his parents, moved in with his secret mercenary cousin, his video game-making roommate, and befriends “the greatest vampire who’s ever lived.” And that’s just the first 20 pages. Welcome to Florida, youth is wasted on the young…

Perhaps best described as Fright Night meets Scott Pilgrim, this vampy new series is a must-read and features anime influences, gamer culture, and found family.”

Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics said of the series:

“Comparisons get thrown around for new comics all the time, and this one is no different, but there really isn’t anything like this on the racks right now. Wyatt and Luigi are building a fascinating world here, full of curious situations and captivating characters, and I’m excited for readers to experience the thrill of diving into a new series so rich with possibilities.”

Kennedy added:

“I basically wanted to make the greatest Toonami show that never existed. There’s so many bizarre genre-bending elements with horror, comedy, action, and romance, but the characters are the true heart of this story. Expect an episodic start to the ‘season’ as it were, but we’re ramping up to tell an incredible near apocalyptic event love story. It genuinely feels like a limitless world and watching it brought to life with such care from one of my best friends, Luigi, Francesco (our colorist), Maria (our Letterer), my fantastic editor Alana Fox, and all the wonderful people at Image has been a dream come true. It’s gonna be a weird one, so buckle up!”
