Top Cow and EP1T0ME are teaming up with a The Clay People to create a supernatural tale like no other in the new one-shot Colossus, and we’ve got a massive exclusive preview of the new book for you starting on the next slide. Colossus is inspired by The Clay People’s song of the same name and is brought to comic life by writer Matt Hawkins (Think Tank) and artist Christian DiBari (Magdalena). Colossus tells the story of a bi-racial teenager named Michael living in middle America, and he’s not having the easiest go of things. His Grandfather’s last wish however changes his life and brings to life a supernatural creature that will seek vengeance on anyone seeking to inflict harm on Michael.

“After Rich pitched Colossus, I listened to the song and the lyrics really spoke to me,” says Top Cow President, Matt Hawkins. “My sons are bi-racial, so the story made me think; so much so that I offered to write it myself. Intolerance, drug addiction, poverty and boredom pave a perfect storm for a revenge tale of grisly proportions!”
Dan Neet, The Clay People’s frontman, said: “I wrote the song during a dark time; I can’t believe it’s coming to life for all of our fans and others to see.”
Richard Leibowitz, EP1T0ME’s president, said “The song means different things to different people; the more we heard it, the more we envisioned a story about an underdog with new-found, out-of-control power and the ramifications that using it would bring.”
The Clay People: Colossus hits stores on March 16th, and pre-orders end on February 21st. You can read the official description below.
