James Robinson’s The Saviors is the Christmas Gift from Image


DC famed James Robinson will release his newest series The Saviors with in the year under Image Comic’s wing. The Saviors will not only be released before the end of the year but will be the only title from Image Comics that will be shipped on Christmas week.  Robinson explains how liberating it is to not follow specific guidelines on how to run his story.

“It’s great to be doing a series where anything goes. Where a character can seem the main focus for several issues only to die suddenly…”

“Where an arc can end and another begin in a different part of the world with a different cast and focus. Where an up-coming arc might even focus on the aliens’ perspective. To be able to do something with so very few rules is very liberating and a lot of fun.”

With all this acquired freedom, it seems that Robinson will be putting an effort to make this book the way he wants it. Just check out what will come with what the featured artist J. Bone says.

“After some long phone calls and email exchanges, James came back with a terrific Monster in the Desert story that just hit me right in the nostalgia. I love old black-and-white horror movies—guys in rubber suits, teens racing through the desert on dune buggies and convertibles. The old sheriff called in because someone’s killing all farmer Jones’s cattle. That’s the kind of story James wrote except with quite a few modern twists.”
