Lost Fantasy sees Pires teaming up once again with Money artist Luca Casalanguida. The debut issue boasts cover art by Casalanguida, Alex Diotto, Darick Robertson, and Jae Lee. Additionally, the series will feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, continuing the narrative from Pires' sci-fi series Indigo Children.
Here's the official synopsis from Image Comics for *Lost Fantasy*:
In Lost Fantasy, a magical realm exists beneath ours. A century ago, a natural disaster led to the first contact between these worlds, creating a rift that allowed monstrous beings to invade ours. Since that time, a secretive group known as The Great Hunters have worked with global leaders to guard the border and protect our world from these shadowy threats. However, a recent breach has led to a mass killing in Montana, shifting the dynamics between the worlds. It's now up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop the chaos...
Pires shares his enthusiasm with IGN, stating, "I'm ecstatic to be back at Image Comics with *Lost Fantasy*—a series that merges my love of Western comics like *East Of West* and *Something Is Killing The Children* with the dense world-building and action of the JRPGs I grew up playing. Games like the *Final Fantasy* series—with our lead character's Snow White spikey hair and Giant Sword being a direct homage to Tetsuya Nomura's amazing character design for Cloud."
He further explains, "The 'Lost' in the title is also a homage—albeit a more subtle one—to the great Hironobu Sakaguchi's *Lost Odyssey*—which is his criminally underrated post-*Final Fantasy* masterpiece at Mistwalker. So the comic has a lot of JRPG love at its core."
*Lost Fantasy #1* is set to hit shelves on April 30, 2025.Stay updated on the latest in the comic book universe by exploring what's on the horizon for Marvel and DC in 2025.
