According to ComicBook.com, Image Comics has announced a brand new, ongoing superhero series called “Frontiersman,” by writer Patrick Kindlon (“We Can Never Go Home,” “Run the Dungeon”) and artist Marco Ferrari (“Patience! Conviction! Revenge!”) set to be released this fall. “Frontiersman” is a mature read about the ageing hero of the title, who is urged to come out of retirement by a group of environmentalists who desperately need his help.

Reminiscent of DC’s early “Green Arrow” stories, Kindlon wanted to create a superhero comic that reminded him of the heroic tales of yesteryear. “I love superhero comics but haven’t been getting what I want from them for a while,” Kindlon said in a statement to ComicBook.com. “Seems like that’s where a lot of us are right now. So Marco and I answered the call. We think comics can be fun while maintaining their gravitas and serious without being self-serious. We put that on the page, and hope you like it.”

Marco Ferrari also added to Kindlon’s sentiment and desire to recreate the magic that inhabited the comics of their youth. “I wanted to bring back some childhood magic and lightness in the character design in contrast with the maturity of our story and topics. Patrick and I created a superhero universe without asking too many whys. I hope it will give you a good time.”

“Frontiersman” #1 will go on sale on September 22nd, with a Cover A by Maurizio Rosenzweig, and a Cover B by Mateo Scalera.
