John Arcudi Announces New Sci-Fi Miniseries ‘Convert’ With Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Writer John Arcudi (Rumble, B.P.R.D.) and illustrator Savannah Finley have a new four-issyue sci-fi series coming out from Image Comics called Convert. Launching in August covers will be provided by artist Simon Gane (Ghost Tree, They’re Not Like Us).

Science Officer Orrin Kutela finds himself stranded on a distant planet, starving and haunted by the ghosts of his dead crew. On the verge of death, he makes an astonishing discovery.

Long-time writer, Arcudi, said of this new book:

“Convert was maybe my first opportunity to write a science fiction story the way I wanted to, meaning something more personal, more intimate—while at the the same time more fantastic—than what I’m used to seeing in the genre. My hope is that this human element in the comic will connect with readers.”
