GREG
RUCKA COMES TO DARK HORSE WITH THE ALL-NEW ORIGINAL SERIES
VEIL!
NEW YORK, NY—It was
announced officially on Dark Horse’s horror panel at New York Comic Con that
Greg Rucka would be 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?
This new series, drawn by
Toni Fejzula, comes as the perfect addition to a heroine lineup that includes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ghost, and Serenity’s River Tam. Dark Horse is
proud to introduce comics’ next leading lady!
“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.”
“There are a lot of
characters in comics that are very dangerous, and a lot that bring danger with
them wherever they go. Veil gives that concept a whole new and very deadly
meaning,” said Dark Horse’s editor in chief, Scott Allie. “I don’t know if I can
classify her as an antihero. But she’s a character that’s going to surprise you
in a lot of ways. Greg does gritty urban drama like no one else, and here he’s
adding to it some things you’ve never seen from him
before.”
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.
