Image Comics Announces ‘This Ends Tonight’ From Gerry Duggan, Jae Lee And Co.

Okay, okay, I admit that Gerry Duggan and Jae Lee are the headline act of this post, but they are also joined on the new miniseries, This Ends Tonight – announced by Image Comics – by co-writers Kelvin Mao and Robert Windom and artist June Chung.

 

 

And here’s the lowdown on this new series, told across three connected stories:

 

“Under the glowing casino lights of sinful Las Vegas, three interconnected bloody revenge tales take place in This Ends Tonight, …  the action-packed series aims for your jugular and paints The Strip red…with blood and satisfying retribution. The first issue, hitting shelves this July, launches the pulse-pounding comic event of the summer.” 

“This Ends Tonight kicks off with some sweet sister bonding time as the starring pair fight assassins hunting them over a shocking family secret. The Thelma & Louise-like duo battle side-by-side, barrelling through Quentin Tarantino-esque action scenes to survive the bloodbath. The following two interconnected issues take place on the same night in Las Vegas, all centered around gory revenge. The stories were all conceived by Duggan, Mao and Windom, with the co-creators swapping lead writing duties from issue-to-issue.” 

Duggan speaks of this new miniseries inception:

 

“This Ends Tonight began as so many great creator-owned comics do—with friends hanging out and dreaming out loud about what would be cool to see in a comic. What would be cool to see Jae Lee draw and June Chung color. It was my privilege to get to have fun with the Seven Sons team, and I’m thrilled to collaborate on a comic that once again proves there’s no better team working in comics than Jae & June.

 

This series takes three separate high-octane action stories and collides them together in Las Vegas. The city usually sees about 250 murders a year. I think we can top that in our one night stand in the city of sin. We’ve been threatening you with this good time for a while, and now it’s time to roll them bones…and bodies.”

This Ends Tonight #1 (of 3) will be out on Wednesday, July 16th from Image Comics with the following covers:
