In a world where fantasy meets reality, a colossal tale is set to unravel. This April, comic book enthusiasts will get lost in "Lost Fantasy," a sprawling comic series brought to life by the talented Curt Pires and artist Luca Casalanguida. This fresh offering from Image Comics pays homage to the legendary "Final Fantasy" while packing a punch with its unique narrative.
A Portal to Adventure
"Lost Fantasy" embarks on a mythical journey unlike any other. It delves into an alternate history where magic, myth, and monsters lurk just beneath the surface of our world, threatening to break through. Echoes of "East of West" and "Something is Killing the Children" resonate through its pages, providing fans with a nerve-tingling experience. Even better, the series serves up an extra treat with "Indigo Children: Exodus," a serialized backup story that’s set to continue Pires’ acclaimed sci-fi saga.
This engrossing tale reveals a magical underground realm, first uncovered over a century ago following a natural disaster. The event opened a portal, letting monsters slip through. In response, a covert group of monster hunters, The Great Hunters, emerged, joining forces with global leaders to keep humanity safe. However, a sudden, chilling massacre in Montana sends shivers across both worlds, stirring fears of an impending breach. Rookie hunter Henry Blackheart steps into the spotlight, determined to stop the chaos.
Magic Meets Mystery
Curt Pires is ecstatic about his return to Image Comics. "Lost Fantasy is a thrilling fusion of mystery and action," he declares. His excitement is palpable as he discusses the comic’s dynamic storytelling that promises to captivate readers. Pires’ vision is clear: to craft a gripping narrative that unfolds like a living, breathing entity—pulsating with suspense and excitement.
Artistic genius Luca Casalanguida joins Pires in this ambitious endeavor. Together, they create a visually stunning world bursting with intricate details and breathtaking vistas. Every frame invites the reader to step deeper into its immersive landscapes, where danger and beauty coexist.
A Collector’s Dream
Comic book shops will welcome "Lost Fantasy #1" on Wednesday, April 30. Eager fans can choose from an array of covers, each a masterpiece in its own right. There’s the haunting Cover A by Casalanguida, a nod to "Final Fantasy VII" by Alex Diotto on Cover B, and a parade of enticing incentive cardstock covers by renowned artists like Darick Robertson and Jae Lee.
For those who prefer pixels over paper, the series will also grace digital platforms such as Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play. No matter your preference, "Lost Fantasy" is designed to reach and enthrall audiences worldwide.
