writer Daniel Corey and artist Mark Dos Santos will bring political conspiracy, science fiction and hard-boiled crime together in Red City, a new series coming in June from Image Comics, the publisher announced today.In the wake of a system-wide civil war, hard-nosed interplanetary investigator Cal Talmage is given a simple mission to find a missing ambassador’s daughter in Mars Central City. It all seems routine at first, but an experienced vet like Cal knows when trouble is brewing. Federal Security Officer Talmage just wants to be left alone, but with a girl in danger, a corrupt mayor in power and the lives of an entire race at stake, he’s got some tough choices ahead, because no one comes out clean in this town.”You might say Red City is like L.A. Confidential on Mars,” said Corey. “Ellroy and Chandler shaking hands with Bradbury. We’ve got a likable-but-troubled cop who tackles a complex case in the midst of a vast criminal conspiracy, and it happens to take place on Mars. The really exciting thing is that we’re building an entire world, and the art of Mark Dos Santos brings a retro-futuristic vibe that will make Red City the most dangerous place in the New Solar System.”The first of four issues of Red City arrives in stores 6/11, and can be pre-ordered using Diamond code APR140490. A full interview with Corey will be published at ComicBook.com tomorrow.
