Maria Llovet Knows Just What You Crave From Image Comics
Maria Llovet will make her Image Comics debut with the comic book series, Crave, described as "Eyes Wide Shut meets Black Mirror"
Writer/artist Maria Llovet of Heartbeat, Faithless, Sandman Universe Thessaly and more will make her Image Comics debut with the upcoming erotic thriller comic book series, Crave, described as "Eyes Wide Shut meets Black Mirror", launching from Image in November.
CRAVE, a mysterious app that promises to make your desires come true, spreads among the students of an elite university who use it as a hookup app. David, a top student, engages in a game of seduction with the unattainable Alexandra. But as requests to the app escalate and wreak havoc on campus, David and his friends' only chance to stop this spiral is to find out what really lies behind CRAVE.
"Crave was born by reflecting on how we connect in the modern world; to what extent do we control how much we share, and how much others know about us, especially now that we are in the dawn of AI," said Llovet.
Crave #1 will be available by Maria Llovet at comic book shops on Wednesday, the 29th of November.
