Ryan Browne’s hit webcomic God Hates Astronauts is coming to Image Comics as a monthly print title.The series has already been collected into a hardcover volume at Image Comics once, but this is its first foray into serialized, single issue books.The first issue will feature a variant cover by Geof Darrow, whose Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot will also return to Dark Horse with a new story, per an announcement at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo yesterday. More on that soon.”It’s the right time because I feel confident enough as a writer to tackle this project,” Browne told Multiversity. “The original series was just a bunch of ideas for stupid jokes that I struggled to string together into a narrative. Now I’m actually planning things (what a novel idea!) and focusing on issues such as pacing, plot and character growth. Y’know, all that actually writer stuff.”
