Yesterday Image Comics announced Dead Romans, a new six-issue miniseries from up-and-coming writer Fred Kennedy and artist Nick Marinkovich. The series launches this March.
The official description for the series:
In Dead Romans, lush, beautiful illustrations bring to life a brutal tale of love and war from the birth of the Roman Empire. the Empire that butchers his people. He wants to make a queen of the woman he loves, Honoria, a fellow slave. Now, fifty thousand Romans will die to give her a throne she never asked for…or wanted.
Kennedy praised his collaborators on this project:
“I was nervous about this book, because at its core it really is a love story. With the wrong artist that aspect could get lost amid the mud and violence. But Nick really understood the tone, and he brought that emotion to life. It’s a brutal story, told with some of the most beautiful panels I’ve ever seen. I am VERY proud (and lucky) to have been part of this team.”
Marinkovich added:
“This isn’t a history lesson. It’s therapy—the kind that reminded me why I was a fan before I ever picked up a brush—and Fred’s a time traveler. He’s taking us back to a moment in time, and immersing us in the raw battle scars that went with it. It’s a trip to be on board, and I’m just trying to keep up…”
The first issue will have a main cover by Marinkovich as well as variants by Cary Nord and Adam Gorham.
Check out preview art below. Dead Romans#1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 29.
