Rick Remender And Paul Azaceta Announce New Horror Ongoing ‘The Seasons’ From Image/Giant Generator
by Olly MacNamee
Popular and prolific writer Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Grommets, Deadly Class) and artist Paul Azaceta (Outcast by Kirkman and Azaceta) have announced their new horror series The Seasons exclusively to Fangoria. This new ongoing comic book will be published by Image Comics in partnership with Remender’s Giant Generator and comes out January 2025.
“Kicking off with a double-length premiere issue, Remender and Azaceta weave an elevated tale of whimsical horror unlike anything ever experienced in comics.
Summer, Winter, Spring and Autumn are the Seasons Sisters, the daughters of the world-renowned Seasons Detectives. Ten years ago, their famous parents disappeared. Left to raise themselves, the sisters formed an unbreakable bond. Now that bond is tested as the sisters fall prey to sinister forces. The youngest sister, Spring, is the last hope of saving them from a fate worse than death. Will Spring be able to piece her shattered family back together before it’s too late for them all?“
Remender told Fangoria:
“Paul and I have worked tirelessly to create a world unlike anything we’ve ever done before. Inspired by Miyazaki, Windsor McKay, and Tintin we wanted to make something that was delightful, poignant, and heartfelt. We hope you find the Seasons sisters as charming as we do. And the Ringleader and his imps as devilishly terrifying. Paul and Matheus have delivered one of the most spectacularly vibrant comics you’re going to see in the modern marketplace.”
“I’m having so much fun on this book. I think we took a big swing with it. We challenged ourselves and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The kind of project is what excites me about comics and what drives me to push my art in new directions.”
The Seasons #1 will be out on Wednesday, January 15th from Image Comics/Giant Generator.
Azaceta will appear on the Image Comics Presents: Breaking Ground panel at NYCC 2024 on Sunday, October 20th at 11 am in room 406.2 to talk more about the new book.
