Dark Horse continues to crank out the announcements. In their horror panel, they revealed Greg Rucka is bringing his latest heroine to Dark Horse in the new series VEIL.
The story opens when a beautiful girl wakes up in an abandoned subway station with no memory of how she got there. When men try to hurt her . . . they wind up dead. Where did she come from? And what is she capable of?
The series will be drawn by Toni Fejzula and adds to the strong female characters the publisher currently has, such as Buffy, Ghost and River Tam.
“I’ve been tossing the idea behind Veil around for over a decade, seriously, but it wasn’t until Scott Allie pulled the string on it that it came to life,” said writer Greg Rucka. “It’s a very different kind of tale for me, very different in what I’m trying to accomplish, and working with Dark Horse, working with Toni, is a rare opportunity to try to bring this thing to life. The opportunity Dark Horse is providing us is amazing.”
The first part of this brand-new five-issue story by multiple Eisner Award winner Greg Rucka (Lazarus, Queen & Country,Stumptown) arrives on sale March 5, 2014.
