Weird Work #1 kicks off Image Comics’ new 4-issue miniseries by the creative team of Jordan Thomas and Shaky Kane. The series has been described as the “hard-boiled noir of LA Confidential mixes with the bright, alien-filled worlds of Futurama in this cannot-miss crime epic.”
Thomas commented on the partnership with Kane: “I always knew I was writing this series for Shaky. So I wanted to play to his strengths by filling the world with a cast of wild, almost psychedelic, characters, whilst also delivering a tough, taut, crime tale in the spirit of comics I love like Brubaker & Phillips’ Criminal and Darwyn Cooke’s Parker adaptations.”
Kane shared his thoughts on the world of Weird Work, “While tightly scripted, the Weird Work universe was broad enough to allow me to put a pure comic book, Shaky-spin on the visuals. A real fun book to draw. I just know that readers are going to share our enthusiasm for this off-kilter take on a hard-boiled future detective yarn.”
