BOOM! Studios have announced “Mosely,” a dystopian action series by writer Rob Guillory (“Farmhand,” Chew”), artist Sam Lotfi (“Harley Quinn”), and colorist Jean-Francois Beaulieu (“I Hate Fairyland”). The five-part comic follows Marvin Mosely, a janitor living in the late 21st century, who takes up the Holy Hammer to destroy the Gods of Tech.
“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)?,” asks the synopsis. Well, “you better believe he’s gonna smash some $h!t until he sets mankind free!”
Guillory comments, “I pictured ‘Moseley’ 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. 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.”
Lotfi says, “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!” Sierra Hahn, Executive Editor of BOOM! Studios, adds, “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!”
“Mosely” #1 will be released in January 2023 with a main cover by Lotfi, and variants by Guillory, Joe Palmer (“Time Before Time”), Mike Huddleston (“Decorum”), and more. Head to boom-studios.com to check some of those out, as well as Lotfi’s pencils and character designs, in the meantime.
