In the far future, humanity has doomed planet earth to rot and decay, covering her surface with garbage. Now, ancient spirits called the Colossals rise from the debris and attack the remaining survivors, forcing the human race to the brink of extinction. One warrior woman, Maya, sets out to find the last source of pure water to save the world before the monsters bring it all to an end.

The future looks bleak for humankind in DEBRIS, the new Image Comics/Shadowline mini-series by the co-creators of the critically acclaimed GREEN WAKE, Kurtis J. Wiebe (PETER PANZERFAUST, GRIM LEAPER) and Riley Rossmo (REBEL BLOOD, COWBOY NINJA VIKING). Earth itself, covered with the detritus of civilization, has risen up against humans, as ancient spirits called the Colossals take physical forms constructed from the debris to wage war against the destructive species.

 

 

 

In the midst of this chaos, a warrior woman named Maya becomes the champion of humankind. She sets out to find the world’s last source of pure water, combatting Colossals along the way as she fights to save her fellow humans.

 

“I’m very fond of Scandinavian and European folklore, so I injected a lot of those concepts into the monsters that will appear throughout the series,” Wiebe told Comic Book Resources in an April 25th interview. “It’s also very influenced by Native American (Canadian) mythology and even a touch of Mayan for some of the creatures. I like the idea that all these ancient monsters were once part of our world and have returned to end us when we are at our weakest.”

 

With a look inspired by video games like Final Fantasy, DEBRIS boasts extraordinary creature design by Rossmo and vivid colors by Owen Gieni (AVENGELYNE) that set the comic apart from many other post-apocalyptic visions of Earth.

The art is fantastic and it sounds really good, it's just a shame it is mini series.

[Kalebb Daark-migration]

Exactly what I thought... Great minds think alike... Although If sales are good it could do a CHEW, which if I recall correctly was originally a 5 issue mini. The premise of Debris seems big enough to become a larger story.

[Cyclops]

I like the premise. I'll be picking up a copy for sure.

[Solar]

I heard it's been optioned for a TV series.

We've developed a pretty huge world for this, but we're pretty certain it'll remain a 4 issue mini as I tie things up pretty tight at the end.

 

But, never say never!

I'm excited about the book. I don't know that I'll pick up a dozen copies but I'm a fan of both creators. I think it's going to be a fun book.
