Image Announces ‘Final Fantasy’ Inspired Sci-Fi Series ‘Lost Fantasy’

Writer Curt Pires (Indigo Children) reunites with Money co-collaborator, artist Luca Casalanguida (James Bond) on the new Image Comics’ Lost Fantasy this April. A “video-game inspired fantasy tale”, homaging Final Fantasy, Lost Fantasy also features the backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, that continues Pires’ previous sci-fi series Indigo Children.

“Lost Fantasy explores an alternate history where a world of magic, myth, and monsters exists just beneath the surface of our own…and is threatening to break through. Fans of East of West and Something is Killing the Children will enjoy the monster-slaying historically-revisionist Lost Fantasy series, with the bonus of a new Indigo Children mystery.“

In Lost Fantasy, a magical world lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it’s up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it…”

Pires excitedly states:

“I’m so excited to be back at Image Comics with Lost Fantasy, the first title in a brand-new slate of best-in-class comics and graphic novels that I’m bringing to the pioneering publisher and home of creator-owned comics. Lost Fantasy has it all: page-turning mystery and pulse-pounding action in equal measure. And I can’t wait for readers to discover it this April!”

Lost Fantasy #1 will be out on Wednesday, April 30th from Image Comics.
