BOOM! Studios announces Mosely, a new sci-fi miniseries set for an upcoming January 2023 release. The miniseries comes from writer Rob Guillory, artist Sam Lotfi, and colorist Jean-Francois Beaulieu. The story follows as a lone man fights the technological idols that have risen in the near future.
“I pictured MOSELY as the summer action blockbuster I’ve always wanted to write. But when I put pen to paper, Marvin Mosely had bigger plans. Turns out Mose was such a huge character that this story had to grow to epic proportions just to contain him,” said Guillory. “He’s maybe the most unlikely savior of the world in comics today. And you’re gonna completely fall in love with the old bastard.”
Guillory is known for his work on the hit indie series Chew from Image comics, and is currently working on Farmhand for the publisher as well. Lotfi is an artist on the rise, having illustrated a Doctor Fate story in DC Comics New Talent Showcase along with the indie series Last Stop on the Red Line from Dark Horse Comics.
“I’m thrilled to be telling this story with Rob. It’s always a joy to create characters and a world from the ground up and even more fun to watch those characters collide! I found myself making sound effects out loud while drawing this book, that’s how fun the world of MOSELY is!” said Lotfi.
Mosely #1 features main cover art by series artist Lotfi, and variant covers by series creator Guillory and highly acclaimed artists Joe Palmer (Time Before Time), Mike Huddleston (Decorum), and more.
“The false gods of technology have NOTHING on MOSELY in this exciting new sci-fi series that pits a singular individual against all of the corrupt corporate powers of Big Tech” said Sierra Hahn, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Of course, being the creative geniuses they are, Rob and Sam make this a fun, action-packed, and extremely entertaining thrill ride so get ready for big boss fights and a peek into a futuristic society that challenges our own relationships with our devices!”
BOOM has provided a detailed synopsis and first look at issue #1’s cover:
In the hyper-technological world of the later 21st century, Mosely is a bitter old janitor on a mission from a higher power—to unleash holy Hell upon the “too big to fail” Tech Gods. Can one man bring down the corporate powers who’ve used their vast influence to oppress an all too complacent human race (and hopefully win back the favor of his estranged family while he’s at it)? Mosely’s taking up the Holy Hammer and you better believe he’s gonna smash some $h!t until he sets mankind free!
