Image Comics recently announced that the new series underway Black Cloak will launch in January 2023. This new series seeks to blend mystery, fantasy, science fiction and more with a story of Kelly Thompson (Black Widow) and art Meredith McClaren (Jem and the holograms).
Blade Runner’s style mixes with Saga-style drama in a delightful fantasy / sci-fi blend as two Black Cloaks try to solve the murder of a beloved prince in Kiros, the last city in the known world, before his murder brings the city at war. The mystery begins in a spectacular triple-length first issue that hits shelves in the new year.
Speaking of carrying Black Cloak to life, Thompson told Popverse:
Black Cloak is essentially all of my favorite things – detective stories, fantastic creatures and magic, neo-noir science fiction – thrown into a blender and transformed into something electrifying new … or if not new, at least new-ISH. And I’m so excited to be collaborating with Meredith again on a project where we can truly break free of world building and design. I can’t get enough of how Meredith’s brain works and she gave birth to an amazing super cool life in Black Cloak.
It looks like it could be an incredible story. Black Cloak # 1 will be released on January 11 and features a McClaren main cover and variations of Jeff Dekal, Christian Ward, Momoko with peachAnd Tula Lotay. If you’re into digital comics, you’ll also find them available through Thompson’s 1979 Semi-Finalist Substack newsletter.
