Rich Johnston has just announced that his crazy delicious work
Chase Variant will be coming to Image Comics in February. And he's bringing
Heavy Metal painter Saverio Tenuta and
2000AD illustrator Bagwell with him.
"CHASE VARIANT has two distinct sides to it, "Johnston said. "One is a balls to the wall blockbuster with babes, bombs, and bazookas, an extraordinary body count and a beautiful body to boot, in the shape of the star genetically altered assassin of the series. The other is a metafictional treatise on the nature of reality, of fiction, of the stores we tell and the ornaments we collect. It's a meaningful piece of comic book philosophy that's constantly being shot at by a nearly-naked four armed tattooed walking weapon. Think Michael Bay meets Rene Descartes, TOMB RAIDER meets ANNIE HALL."
Chase Variant follows an assassin attempting to fulfill her missions while stopping rivals from collecting her targets. Her problem is that all her actions are be predicted by a card-player, leading to all sorts of philosophical quandaries pitting pre-destination versus free will.
The 32-page color comic will be in stores February for $3.99. Full press release after the jump.
