RED CITY IS A HIGH STAKES CRIME NOIR...
ON PLANET MARS
Femme Fatales and rival alien mobs collide in this new
series
Brimming with political
conspiracy and raging with rival alien mobs, nothing is ever as it seems on the
streets of RED CITY. Writer Daniel Corey (MORIARTY) and artist Mark Dos Santos
bring you a whole new take on American crime noir, coming this June to Image
Comics.
In the wake of a system-wide
civil war, hard-nosed interplanetary investigator Cal Talmage is given a simple
mission to find a missing ambassador’s daughter in Mars Central City. It all
seems routine at first, but an experienced vet like Cal knows when trouble is
brewing.
Coming off a run on the
acclaimed series MORIARTY, also published by Image Comics, writer Daniel
Corey brings you a new mystery that combines femme fatales and hard-boiled
heroics with classic science fiction. Federal Security Officer Talmage just
wants to be left alone, but with a girl in danger, a corrupt mayor in power and
the lives of an entire race at stake, he’s got some tough choices ahead, because
no one comes out clean in this town.
“You might say RED CITY is
like L.A. Confidential on Mars,” said Corey. “Ellroy and Chandler
shaking hands with Bradbury. We’ve got a likable-but-troubled cop who tackles a
complex case in the midst of a vast criminal conspiracy, and it happens to take
place on Mars. The really exciting thing is that we’re building an entire world,
and the art of Mark Dos Santos brings a retro-futuristic vibe that will make RED
CITY the most dangerous place in the New Solar System.”
The first of four issues of
RED CITY arrives in stores 6/11, and can be pre-ordered using Diamond
code APR140490.
