Cyberpunk And Dark Magic Collide In Upcoming Comic Series HEXWARE
Image Comics and Arancia Studios recently shared a small glimpse at the upcoming comic miniseries Hexware. The six-issue miniseries comes from Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Zulema Scotto Lavina (Red Sonja) and is described as Cyberpunk 2077 mixed with Devil May Cry and then the whole thing is given an anime flair. It could be interesting.
In a corporate-ruled world where class inequality is greater than ever, a desperate, lonely populace is drawn to neo-spiritualism and hedge magic. When her teenage daughter is murdered, the Marks family is left asking the gods what they did to deserve this. But their android maid, Which-Where, has a different approach. Perhaps if she asked the Devil…
Talking about the project, Seeley said:
This is an idea that's been burning in my head for a while. Working with Arancia Studios and Zulema allowed it to jump onto the page, and take on all kinds of new influences like horror manga and sci-fi anime. Hexware is part cyberpunk, part fantasy, and all about love, loss, and dark deals. Pull up a spell book and get your cyber-pagan on.
Lavina added:
A fascinating sci-fi world—soaked with just the right amount of witchcraft vibes—this is the journey of an android, through life and death. Working with Tim Seeley is a dream come true for me and I believe the readers will like where we are going with the story!
Fans can read Hexware #1 on December 7. The main cover is by Lavina with variants available featuring art by Seeley and Mirka Andolfo.
