Remember when you were on social media saying you were looking for new comics to get into? Ones not steeped in decades of continuity or just something that was outside of what some may see as the norm for comics? Well, Comixology is dropping several titles that fit that mold this September! Each with its own unique flavor from equally talented creative teams!
ComiXology, Amazon’s premier digital comics service, announces four all-new creator-owned comiXology Originals titles to be released this September. Each week will feature the debut of a new series starting with Breaklands written by Justin Jordan, with art by Tyassetta on September 4th, followed by Field Tripping co-written by James Asmus and Jim Festante, with art by José García on September 11th, The Black Ghost co-written by acclaimed novelist Alex Segura and Monica Gallagher—co-creators of the Lethal Lit Podcast—with art by George Kambadais on September 18th, and concluding with Quarter Killer co-written by Vita Ayala and Danny Lore, with art by Jamie Jones on September 26th.
Each new #1 will be available to read digitally upon release for members of Amazon Prime via their Prime Reading benefit, Kindle Unlimited, and comiXology Unlimited at no additional cost and for purchase on Kindle and comiXology. The collected editions of these newly announced comiXology Originals series will be available in print via Amazon.com.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with these exciting back-to-back-to-back debuts on comiXology Originals! Whether it’s a new take on thepost-apocalyptic adventure with Breaklands, a multi-verse hopping dark comedy with Field Tripping, the rise of a new masked vigilante with The Black Ghost, or a cyberpunk mystery with Quarter Killer — our roster of incredible writers and artists, and everyone at comiXology are thrilled to bring readers new and exciting comic series to dive into every week in September,” says Chip Mosher, comiXology’s Head of Content. “And stay tuned as we still have more to come this year!”
