Jordie Bellaire And Vanesa R. Del Rey's Redlands Joins A Colourful Lineup At Image Comics In August 2017

First announced at Emerald City Comic Con, the new ongoing series Redlands, created by Jordie Bellaire and Vanesa R. del Rey will launch this August. And add to the amount of colour-titled series currently published by Image Comics, including Redneck, Black Cloud, Black Magick, Copperhead, Black Science, Rose, Green Valley and Black Monday Murders.

"Redlands is my sick, weird love letter to Stephen King, Florida and Riot Grrrls everywhere but ultimately, hate mail for everything else," said Bellaire. "Inspired by the strange complexities of real world politics and crime, the characters of Redlands play victim and villain, attempting to understand themselves and others, through murder, magic and mayhem."

Redlands introduces readers to the sleepy, sunny town of Redlands, Florida where the police are failing to maintain control of their old-fashioned community and a coven of killer witches plan to take everything from them.

Del Rey added: "The world of Redlands was brewed in darkness, it is murky waters, it is a gloomy day in the humidity of the mangroves. There is ferocity in this land, it is savagery that goes deep noir. The stories that develop in this world are as intricate as the etched lines that depict them."

Redlands #1 will hit stores on Wednesday, August 9th. The final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, July 17th.
