Image Comics Announces New Horror/Sci-Fi Ongoing ‘Malevolent’
by Olly MacNamee
The co-creators of comic book series Spread — Justin Jordan, John Bivens, and Felipe Sobreiro — are teaming up once again to bring you a new ongoing Image Comics series, Malevolent, mixing up science fiction with gnarly monsters:
“Thirty years ago, the gates of Hell cracked open when science went too far — and the world has never been the same. Humanity adapted, survived, even thrived in the shadow of demons. But now, mankind has made something new. Something dangerous. A weapon that can kill demons … if she doesn’t kill us first.”
Speaking of this new ongoing, Sobreiro said:
“This is the most excited I’ve been about a project in a while … Not only because I love working with Justin and John, but also because the world of Malevolent is so fun and full of possibilities. I think people will really enjoy what we have in store.”
Bivens added:
“I’ve been trying to get Justin and Felipe to work with me again since the end of Spread! Being annoyingly persistent (plus finding a way around their spam blockers) finally paid off and now we are making something awesome!!!”
Jordan concluded:
“Malevolent is pure mayhem and monsters, and it’s been awesome to work with John and Felipe to try and out crazy our last comic. I think we just about managed it.”
Malevolent #1 is out on Wednesday, January 28th, from Image Comics with the following covers:
- Cover A by Bivens
- Cover B by Jorge Corona
- Cover C by Zander Cannon
- Cover D by Jon Wayshak
- Cover E by Ben Templesmith
