Designer Melita Curphy and writer Singgih Nugroho team up with artist Sami Basri (Power Girl<\/em>, WITCHBLADE) for the sci-fi\/fantasy drama DISSONANCE, coming this January from Image Comics\/Top Cow.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\u201cI am thrilled to see this world unfold thanks to Singgih, and my designs taken to new heights in the capable hands of Sami!\u201d said Curphy. \u201cSeraphim started out as a superhero helmet I made for myself years ago, and the folks at Glitch have made that come to life as an action figure and now a comic book. As a toy\/comic fan for 30+ years, this is a dream come true!\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nIn an alternate world where Earth is populated with powerful human-spirit hybrids called Fantasmen, Folke and Roisia Herviett, two siblings with opposing worldviews, are challenged to prove their worth and take up their parents\u2019 positions in a devious group that secretly runs the world. Meanwhile, Seraphim, a Fantasmen warrior guard, is sent to prevent a catastrophic event from affecting the Earth and its own universe.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cTo build a unique world and write an engaging story from action figure lines is an interesting challenge, especially for a guy who spent his last decade writing for advertising,\u201d said Nugroho. \u201cBut with inspiring design from Mel and great interpretation from Sami, I believe we just cracked an appealing approach that will excite readers.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\u201cWhen I was shown Murphy's designs for this comic, I was blown away,\u201d added Basri. \u201cI love fantastic creatures, but my previous projects didn't really involve much of them as a subject, so I was really happy at the chance to do DISSONANCE. Being given the liberty to help visually develop a totally new fantasy world, with an edgy script accompanying\u2014it's a fantastic feeling.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nDISSONANCE #1 (Diamond code: NOV170644) hits comic book shops Wednesday, January 10th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, December 18th.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/div>","post_title":"Enter the world of Dissonance this January","post_excerpt":"Sci-fi\/fantasy drama","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"enter-the-world-of-dissonance-this-january","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-09-17 23:28:30","post_modified_gmt":"2018-09-17 23:28:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=189357","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":187960,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2017-09-15 20:43:22","post_date_gmt":"2017-09-15 20:43:22","post_content":"Writer Sarah Vaughn (ALEX + ADA, ETERNAL EMPIRE) teams up with artist Leila del Duca (SHUTTER, AFAR), editor\/colorist Alissa Sallah, and letterer Deron Bennett for the fantasy romance series SLEEPLESS this December.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nLady \u201cPoppy\u201d Pyppenia, daughter of a king, is ever guarded by the devoted Sleepless Knight Cyrenic. But a new king has just been crowned\u2014and danger lurks anew around each and every corner.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cSLEEPLESS is a story that is very dear to me, grown from an idea I would play in my head at night as I tried to fall asleep,\u201d said Vaughn. \u201cIt's wonderful to see the book come to life with Leila, Alissa, and Deron. I hope readers enjoy reading about Poppy and Cyrenic and getting a little more romance, costumes, and fantasy in their lives.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cI'm incredibly thrilled to be drawing a romance comic with Sarah!\u201d said del Duca. \u201cShe has written a lush world and intriguing characters that I'm having fun falling in love with (pun intended!). We're both huge fans of period dramas and romance, so doing our own take on the genre has been very rewarding. I love the palace intrigue, the sexual tension, the dramatic emotions, and the amazing wardrobes in this series.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cI'm also very pleased to be working with Alissa Sallah and Deron Bennett,\u201d added del Duca. \u201cAlissa both edits and colors the book, giving us invaluable editorial feedback along with turning in gorgeous colors. She uses a lot of flat colors on top of watercolor and ink textures, which stylistically fits perfectly for the tone of the story. Deron has chosen a unique lettering style for our book that also lends a particular moodiness to the book. I can't wait to share what our team has created!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\u201cIt's an honor to work on such a fantastic story with Leila and Sarah,\u201d said Sallah. \u201cThe world of SLEEPLESS has such a dreamy vibe to it. And so dramatic! This is a story that feels very refreshing right now in comics, and we thank everyone for their support!\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nSLEEPLESS #1, Cover A by Leila del Duca and Alissa Sallah (Diamond code: OCT170590) and Cover B by Jen Bartel (Diamond code: OCT170591), hits comic book shops Wednesday, December 6th.
