Kieron Gillen, Steve Lieber And Tamra Bonvillain’s ‘Closer’ Gets Collected As A One-Shot By Image Comics
by Olly MacNamee
Writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, The Power Fantasy) oartist Steve Lieber (The Fix, Metamorphosis: The Element Man) and colourist Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future) are having their serialised story, Closer, collected as a one-shot this September from Image Comics. This one-shot cosmic horror first appeared in Image! Anthology #7-9. And here’s all you need to know:
It starts with birds materializing. It’ll end with the death of the heavens. Closer is a story of terror you can dance to in a one-off apocalypse romance.
And, here’s what Gillen and Leiber had to add to yesterday’s announcement:
“Regular readers may have noticed that I tend to go on about pop singles a lot. It’s been a long time since I got to do one—get together with a small band of friends and put down a track together. That’s what Closer is—a pop (as in, popular art) single (as in, single comic) and I want people to open it and hear the little apocalypse romance Steve, Tamra, Clayton and myself have come up with. There’s not enough singles in comics, and I’m so glad we’ve got to do one.” – Keiron Gillen
“It was such a pleasure to work with Kieron, Tamra, and Clayton on this weird, wonderful story, watching the world end while a perfect pop song plays.” – Steve Lieber
Closer is out on Wednesday, September 3rd, from Image Comics.
