In August, Nick Spencer — the writer
behind the critically acclaimed titles EXISTENCE, FORGETLESS and
SHUDDERTOWN — will school readers in sci-fi, mystery, and teen angst
with MORNING GLORIES, an all new series published by Image Comics.
Illustrated by phenom Joe Eisma (Existence 3.0) with gorgeous covers
by Rodin Esquejo (Fractured Fables), the series launches with a double-
sized first issue on August 11, 2010.
“MORNING GLORIES is RUNAWAYS meets LOST,” exclaims Spencer. “I’m
excited to offer readers a book that combines a challenging sci-fi
mystery with the humor and charm of a teen adventure. This is a book
that will keep the audience on the edge of its seat and coming back
for more month after month, trying to put the pieces together — and
with Joe Eisma on art and Rodin Esquejo on covers, it’s presented in
an all-star package that will really make the book shine.”
“This latest series from Nick Spencer may be his best yet,” says
Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino. “If you haven’t yet discovered why
the critics are all raving about him, this is a perfect opportunity to
learn. And rising talents Joe Eisma and Rodin Esquejo are knocking it
out of the park for this baby, too.”
MORNING GLORIES is the most anticipated new series of the year!
Morning Glory Academy is one of the most prestigious prep schools in
the country. But behind it’s hallowed doors, something sinister and
deadly lurks. When six brilliant but troubled new students arrive,
they find themselves trapped and desperately seeking answers in a
place where nothing is what it seems to be!
MORNING GLORIES #1, a special double-sized 44-page full-color series
launch for $3.99, will be available August 11, 2010.
