Image Comics To Collect ‘The Horizon Experiment’ One-Shots

by Olly MacNamee

The critically acclaimed The Horizon Experiment series of one-shots, led by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning The Good Asian creator Pornsak Pichetshote, are to be collected by Image Comics this April. Featuring stories with diverse protagonists inspired by film icons like James Bond and Indiana Jones, this collection will come with an introduction by Pichetshote. Here’s a reminder of what he said about The Horizon Experiment previously:

“I’m fascinated with taking popular genres, like horror and noir, and seeing what they’d look like from diverse perspectives — I explored this in my Image Comics books Infidel and The Good Asian. But, I’ve been limited to my own experiences. So, for The Horizon Experiment, I decided to use the same mentality but open it up to other people, inviting some of the most talented people I know to work on it. Each one-shot is the equivalent of a pilot for a new creator-owned series, with the potential of continuing should there be demand for more. Each team of creators have had different approaches—all of them have knocked me out, and I couldn’t be more proud that the end result is five very unique books, all connected by the same ambitious spirit.”
