This first look at EDENWOOD #1 features Tony S. Daniel's Edenwood juggernaut of cover & artwork.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Tony S. Daniel's highly anticipated Edenwood series launch is ramping up the excitement with sizzling covers by Mahmud A. Asrar, Jorge Molina, and Ryan Stegman. This all-new ongoing fantasy epic series promises mind-blowing action sequences and eye-popping battle scenes and is set to launch in October from Image Comics.
A bestselling superstar, Daniel is hot off the success of his Nocterra collaboration with Scott Snyder and his knock-out megahit runs on Deathstroke and Batman. Now he's bringing the fire to Image Comics with his first written-and-drawn solo project in two decades.
Edenwood—an eons-long series of multiverse wars between demons and witches has found earth as its latest battleground. The battle pits Necronema, the demonic land which supplanted the Midwest twenty years ago, against Edenwood, the witchcraft controlled area of land that protects the rest of the U.S.
In the first story arc of this ongoing series readers are introduced to Rion, a young man born during the apocalyptic events of southern Illinois, who is thrust into the role of hero and leader after killing a Gather, a transient demon with the powers to cross any barrier or dimension.
