Image Comics Announce ‘Standstill’ A New Revenge-Drenched Drama From Andrew Robinson And Lee Loughridge

by Olly MacNamee

Fan-favorite artist Andrew Robinson teams up with up-and-coming writer Lee Loughridge (colorist on Deadly Class, The Good Asian) for the all-new, “revenge-drenched tale” eight-issue series, Standstill. Launching this August from Image Comics, the first issue is an extra-length issue containing 60 double-page spreads of jaw-dropping artwork. And it looks pretty sweet. Definitely another title to add to my ever-growing pull-list.

“In Standstill, readers meet Ryker Ruel, an enigmatic, lecherous, and clinically insane sociopath who has stolen a top-secret device that can freeze time! Now, as the bodies of world leaders pile up, famous works of art go missing, and other strange crimes dominate the headlines, only the device’s creator, a run-of-the-mill science geek, knows what’s happening and sets out to stop Ryker’s seemingly endless revenge tour.”

Commenting on this new announcement, Lee Loughridge stated:

“Nearly nine years in the making, this is the longest sequential run for Andrew Robinson in well over a decade. This may just be his career best.”

While Robinson added:

“Lee writes with a rebellious, punk rock vigor that combines his classic, sardonic wit with epic action.”
