BOOM! Studios Announces KING OF NOWHERE Original Mini-Series Mystery Thriller
BOOM! Studios recently announced a new 5-issue original series called King of Nowhere. This is a series from writer W. Maxwell Prince and artist Tyler Jenkins. These two creators are joined by colorist Hilary Jenkins, and letterer AndWorld Design to bring the story to life. This is a new thriller that is sure to make people think.
“Lovable, drunken lowlife Denis awakens on the outskirts of a mysterious village called Nowhere, home to a friendly populace of deformed, mutated, just-left-of-normal citizens - and he has no memory of where or who he is. But just when Denis starts to regain his memories, his past catches up to him… literally. What at first seems like merely a bad trip quickly heightens into a drama of mistaken identities, small-town conspiracy, and high-stakes fantasy fulfillment.”
Prince released the following statement:
“I’m incredibly happy to bring to market the most important comic about mutants to be published next year. How exciting that everyone can finally join me, Tyler, and Hilary in the middle of Nowhere.”
Jenkins added:
“You ever have one of those days where you stand in the morning, vaguely connected to the events that have, moments ago, ceased being the present, and watch the sun rise, then spend that day adrift without the anchor of sleep? That’s KING OF NOWHERE—a stop motion story; one day to the next, one pose to the next. Each pose, each day, hopefully driving forward the life of your story, or the story of your life.”
In addition, Eric Harburn from BOOM! Said:
“KING OF NOWHERE takes the absurdist imagination of Ice Cream Man and the visceral storytelling of Grass Kings and blends them into the craziest damn smoothie you’ve ever tasted. W. Maxwell Prince and Tyler Jenkins, along with Hilary Jenkins and AndWorld Design, have built a fever dream of mystery, pathos, and heart, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.”
You’ll be able to read King of Nowhere #1 in March 2020. The main cover is by Jenkins with a variant from Martin Morazzo.
