Via IGN, Dark Horse Comics have announced “The Ones,” a meta, multiversal action comedy from writer Brian Michael Bendis, and artist Jacob Edgar. The book follows a group of heroes, who all once believed they were the Chosen One “of their particular story – a singular warrior destined to save everything from destruction. It turns out the multiverse only has one, true version of the One, and these various would-be saviors are forced to band together to stop them.”
Edgar states, “I’m beyond thrilled and still geeking out to be teaming with Brian on this project, and [bring] all these amazing, crazy characters to life. I’ve always felt like comedy in comics is tough to do, but I genuinely laugh out loud reading these scripts as they come in. So, I’m excited for the comics world to get to experience what I’ve been enjoying.”
Bendis, who is no stranger to the multiverse, having penned titles like “Spider-Men” and “Young Justice,” says “Jacob is an amazing artist, and creating this brand-new, fun-as-hell world with him has been one of the greatest delights. Wilson and the rest of the Ones are among my absolute favorite creations I’ve ever been a part of, and I can’t wait to introduce you to all of them.”
“The Ones” #1, also featuring colors by J.K. Diaz and lettering from Joshua Reed, will be released on November 2. It will receive variant covers from Yanick Paquette and Dan Hipp. In the meantime, the latest series from Bendis’s Jinxworld imprint, “Pearl III,” will conclude with its sixth issue on October 26; you can keep track of all of Bendis’s creator-owned titles being released (and rereleased) at Dark Horse here.
