AWA Studios have announced “Newthink,” a topical, five-part sci-fi anthology, written by Gregg Hurwitz (“Penguin: Pain & Prejudice,” AWA’s “Knighted”), with different artists on each issue, namely Mike Deodato Jr. (“The Resistance”), Ramon Rosanas (“Star Wars”), Mike Choi (“Uncanny X-Men”), Keron Grant (“Fantastic Four”), and Will Conrad (“The Flash”). The comic will emphasize contemporary themes like modern technology, and the culture wars.
Hurwitz said, “Thirty years ago looking forward, we would find our life today to be unimaginable. Computers in our pockets. Devices we talk to. Self-driving cars. How would we render it in fiction? In a world this crazy, maybe we don’t have to write about the future to show the surreal. Maybe we can show the insane present in a different light. That’s what ‘Newthink’ is all about.”
Axel Alonso, Chief Creative Officer of AWA Studios, added, “Gregg Hurwitz has the political bona fides to tackle the complex issues within ‘Newthink’ and the writing talent to make them entertaining for a wide audience. He’s got something to say and he knows how to say it. Additionally, the stable of incredibly talented artists each provide their own bold, visionary take on the material, making ‘Newthink’ a title that we’re very proud of at AWA.”
“Newthink” #1 will be published on June 1, with a Cover A provided by Rahzzah, and a Cover B by Mike Deodato Jr. You can check out the covers, and interior artwork, at Comicon.
