The Return Of Motor Crush From Brenden Fletcher & Babs Tarr In 2023?
Motor Crush was a comic book series by Brenden Fletcher, Babs Tarr and Cameron Stewart published by Image Comics, from the team that found success in a relaunch of Batgirl at DC Comics, a run that had a big impact the upcoming Batgirl movie. By day, Domino Swift competes for fame & fortune in a worldwide motorcycle racing league. By night, she cracks the heads of rival gangs in brutal bike wars to gain possession of rare, valuable contraband: an engine-boosting "machine narcotic" known as Crush. The series saw its final eleventh issue published in April 2018, and the solicitation for the twelfth issue cancelled, in favour of a publishing plan that would see a series of graphic novels follow instead of serialised single issues.
However, no such graphic novel was published. And Cameron Stewart was the subject of a number of allegations in 2020. Now, however, Amazon has a listing for a third volume, collecting the unpublished issues 12 to 16, in January 2023. Might August 2022 bring a new listing for Motor Crush #12? Or is this an old solicitation that has been revived for a new original graphic novel?
The solicitation also lists Cameron Stewart, but I understand he is no longer part of this project going forward. Rob Haynes is also listed as an artist, who worked previously on Motor Crush #8.
