----------------------------------------------------------------

An all-new ongoing fantasy series filled with suspense and mystery

Creator/writer Joshua Williamson (NAILBITER, GHOSTED), artist Andrei Bressan and colorist Adriano Lucas present BIRTHRIGHT, a bold new fantasy adventure from Skybound/Image Comics, debuting this October.

What started as a game of catch in the park between father and son turned into a parent’s worst nightmare. For the Rhodes family, losing their son was the most devastating thing that could’ve ever occurred… but it couldn’t prepare them for what happened when he returned. Skybound’s newest original series will turn fantasy into reality in this oversized debut issue.

Williamson explained BIRTHRIGHT’s origin predates both his current hit horror series: "People have asked me if I get worried about being typecast. But I knew BIRTHRIGHT was coming. Even though it opens with what I think is one of the scariest things imaginable in real life... it's a fantasy adventure book at heart. And one Skybound and I have been working on for a long time. Before GHOSTED even came out.

“As a fan of adventure and fantasy stories as a kid... it was always great seeing these young kids going on amazing journeys to far way magical lands. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter Pan, Explorers, The Neverending Story, Wizard of Oz, Flight of the Navigator. But there were never any real consequences to those adventures... What happens when you come home from this great adventure? What do you do next? How do you go back to normal life?

“Those thoughts lead to my obsession with the idea of destiny. If your whole life has been about one moment... one thing that you had to accomplish... what do you do after it is over? How do you go on knowing that the main reason you were born is finished?

“That's what Birthright is about: what happens after the adventure."

BIRTHRIGHT #1 arrives in stores on 10/8, as an oversized 40 page issue.

I'm in and looking forward to it. (thumbs u

I dig Josh's stuff so I will definitely be checking this one out.

Caught my attention.

I'll be picking it up for sure.

i'm in like Flint

I think I read a preview somewhere. Seemed aight

Juiced!

I read the first issue. I liked it a lot. Really nice cliff hanger at the end, and I couldn't wait to read the next issue.

I see they have 1 variant as well by Silvestri. Wonder what the ratio was on these.

Retailers can order as many of the Silvestri covers as they want. But they are out of stock at Diamond.

Looking forward to reading this.

I love the premise.

Wasn't this out last month?

Comes out Wednesday according to MTC.

I think the book looks dumb BUT Nailbiters and the first 6 issues of Ghosted are so good. So I'll probably pick it up and text people about SS at NYCC.

The same people who recommended you get it and you misinformed about it coming out last month?

Vikingreed correted you

The preview for this looked terrible. But, so did the preview for Nowhere Men. I'll pick up a copy to test it out.

I'm with the pasta guy here....Ghosted and Nailbiter are both top of the pile books so this is a must check out for me.

FWIW it's getting better reviews than Wytches right now..9.5 on roundup after eight reviews. Granted, Wytches has 17 reviews and is at a solid 9.1.

I noticed the same thing. The guy is a heck of a writer in his own right.
