by Brendan M. Allen
Oni Press, in partnership with The Nacelle Company, is has revealed the next epic chapter of the NacelleVerse with Sectaurs #1 (of 3). The nostalgic retro 80s miniseries kicks off in October from writer Dennis Culver and artist Ramon Bachs.
I had all these toys when I was a kid. Like, ALL of them. Dargon, Pinsor, Stellara, Dragonflyer… I even had the alternate “Night Fighter” Dargon. Be jealous. His armor was silver instead of blue, and his antennae glowed in the dark. In the 80’s, everything was better if it glowed in the dark.
If you weren’t raised in the era of neon and spandex, here’s what we’re getting into:
Millennia past, on the distant planet Symbion, a genetic experiment failed, and evolution took a strange turn. The result of this cataclysm? A world where insects can grow to monstrous proportions, and whose inhabitants have taken on the weird and wondrous characteristics of insects themselves. Telepathically bonded in battle, Sectaurs warriors unite with their insect companions in the ultimate fight for survival.
“I’m beyond thrilled to help Nacelle and Oni reinvent SECTAURS for the 21st Century!” said Culver. “The Warriors of Symbion are like nothing you’ve ever seen before in comics. It’s Game of Thrones, but with bugs instead of dragons!”
“Of the many beloved properties in the NacelleVerse, Sectaurs holds a special place of reverence for anyone who was first introduced to these characters in the pages of their original Marvel Comics series by legendary creators Bill Mantlo and Mark Texeira,” said Hunter Gorinson, President & Publisher of Oni Press. “It’s a huge joy to see them return to life in spectacularly raucous and rousing fashion at the hands of Dennis Culver and Ramon Bachs – two creators with a penchant for fusing sci-fi, fantasy, and high-flying heroics into pure comic book spectacle.”
“Sectaurs is an important piece of the overall NacelleVerse story and we’re thrilled to finally be able to kick off that exhilarating tale with our friends at Oni Press,” said Nacelle Founder and CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss. “We want to honor the rich history of Sectaurs, and issue #1 is a major first step in that direction.”
Featuring covers by Dustin Weaver, Adam Pollina, Francis Portela, Ramon Bachs, and A.J. Jothikumar, see what the buzz is all about when toy icons Sectaurs: Warriors of Symbion step out of the pages of Nacelleverse #0 this Fall.
