Outer Darkness is Sci-Fi You Can Chew On

The creator of Chew returns with another surefire winner.

Outer Darkness #1

Brace for impact! Secure the doors and ready your pull lists! There is another stunning #1 coming your way from Image Comics. Bless my soul, that company is on a roll with a line-up of can’t-miss titles that is only growing and shows no signs of slowing. Readers of the Weekly Planet, may I present to you: OUTER DARKNESS #1!

We all love Chew, right? That’s sort of a given at this point. That one-of-a-kind, funny, charming, dark, intriguing series won over the hearts of so many readers. For years, we’ve languished, waiting for another book that filled that same void in our cold, empty hearts. And just when it seemed we could never get another series that scratched that same peculiar itch, John Layman has returned to win us back over with a story of space, horror, and wherever the two shall meet.

Outer Darkness #1

In OUTER DARKNESS, mankind has colonized the galaxy. The stars are ours. But in the deep reaches of space lie only trouble. There’s a terrifying secret on the edge of the galaxy. Captain Joshua Rigg and his crew are caught in the cosmic maelstrom. Hauntings, cosmic horror, demonic possessions… Riggs will have to take his crew to the very edges of Hell and back in this thrilling new book from an all-star team.

Drawing the book is none other than Afu Chan. Immortal Iron Fists is a dynamic, propulsive book. The action moves with power and kinetics. The characters are expressive and emotional. If he brings even a fraction of that same talent to OUTER DARKNESS, this is going to be the called shot of a new big time artist.

OUTER DARKNESS #1 is coming in hot to our selves here at FP. I’d recommend grabbing your copy before everyone is talking about this series in a few years.
