Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is excited to announce
the June debut of The Fiction, a new limited series from Curt Pires (POP,
Mayday) and rising star artist David Rubín (Battling Boy: The Rise of Aurora
West) about a group of childhood friends who discover doorways to other worlds
through a set of strange books, in the vein of The Unwritten and Jumanji.
“Everyone loves getting pulled into a good story, but what
happens if the story doesn’t want to let you back out again?” said BOOM!
Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Curt has tapped into the ultimate fantasy
of escapism and turned it on its head. David is a hugely talented artist who’s
been tasked with creating two worlds in The Fiction, and he’s blown us away.
This is a series that embraces the beauty and narrative potential of the comic
book medium.”
Four childhood friends discover a box of strange books that,
when read aloud, can transport them to the beautiful, imaginary worlds
described within. But when one of them goes missing, the others vow never to
reveal where they’ve been and what they’ve seen. Years later, when one of the
remaining kids, now an adult, also mysteriously disappears, it’s up to the last
two of the group to dig up their dusty books to find him and finally figure out
what happened to their friend all those years ago.
The Fiction #1 arrives in comic shops on June 17th with a
main cover by series artist David Rubín for the price of $3.99. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years
incentive cover by Frazer Irving (Annihilator, Uncanny X-Men) and a retailer
incentive cover by Tula Lotay (Curb Stomp, Supreme: Blue Rose).
