by Olly MacNamee

Bestselling fantasy series Lost Fantasy by writer Curt Pires (Indigo Children) and artist Luca Casalanguida (Money) returns this November with a fifth issue and an all-new story arc and teasing an all-new spin-off series to be written by Franklin Jonas of the musical group The Jonas Brothers. Here’s hoping his comic book writitng won’t be as insipid as his music. One can only hope.

But, back to Lost Fantasy #5, which is to be illustrated by guest artist Maxi Dall’o:

Following Lost Fantasy #4’s conclusion to Henry’s brutal Montana case, Lost Fantasy #5 sees Henry immediately thrust into solving the murder of one of his closest family members.

Speaking of the series’ return, Pires stated:

“I’m so excited to continue to grow Lost Fantasy in collaboration with Image Comics, our amazing retail partners and readers around the world. As a special thank you for making the book a massive success we’re launching the next chapter of Lost Fantasy in a big way on November 19 with what we’re calling LOST FANTASY DAY. Issue #5 and the volume one trade paperback will be released in stores simultaneously—with issue #5 featuring multiple homage variants to fan-favorite video games as well as a first look at a brand new Lost Fantasy spinoff being co-written by none other than comics superfan and multi hyphenate artist Frankie Jonas. We’re excited to continue telling our story and finding new ways to bring people to your shops!”

Jonas added:

“Comics have been my deepest passion since before I even discovered my voice in music. Writing a book was always a dream and having my name attached to such an incredible world as Lost Fantasy is an absolute honor. I’ve been preaching the gospel of Lost Fantasy since day one’s release. When Curt reached out to me about collaborating on this exciting new project, I jumped at the opportunity. Curt is such a massive talent and getting to nestle myself beneath his wing has already been the most inspiring experience. I can’t wait for people to experience what we’ve been cooking up.”

In Lost Fantasy, there’s a magical world that 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 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. Safety now rests in the hands of rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart.
