will.i.am Comes to Comics With Wizards & Robots From IDW Publishing

Musician will.i.am and IDW Publishing announced a partnership today on a new comic, titled Wizards & Robots, set to debut from the publisher in July. Teaming with noted futurist Brian David Johnson, will.i.am will write a one-shot that's sure to be a hot item at San Diego Comic Con International that same month. Here's how the publisher describes it:

When an army of futuristic robots journeys through time and space in search of ancient, powerful wizards, the fate of the world will hang in the balance, and a wealth of volatile secrets will be uncovered! Propelled by will.i.am and Johnson's inventive story and the expressive art of Adam Archer (Batman: Arkham City, Ratchet and Clank), WIZARDS & ROBOTS takes readers on a vivid, evocative journey through thrilling new worlds. Over WIZARDS & ROBOTS' 48 pages, readers will travel untold distances to experience the tale of an unthinkably massive battle. As will.i.am and Brian David Johnson were writing Wizards and Robots, their collaboration in storytelling came with a twist – to make sure that the science featured in the story was correct, and to make sure that the journey through new worlds explored boundaries of today's science and technology.
