Bestselling writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, The Power Fantasy) teams up with fan-favorite Steve Lieber (The Fix, Jimmy Olsen) and colorist extraordinaire Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future) to bring readers, Closer. This one-shot collects the story of cosmic horror first serialized in the Image! Anthology issues #7-9.
It starts with birds materializing. It’ll end with the death of the heavens. Closer is a story of terror you can dance to in a one-off apocalypse romance.
“Regular readers may have noticed that I tend to go on about pop singles a lot,” said Gillen. “It’s been a long time since I got to do one—get together with a small band of friends and put down a track together. That’s what Closer is—a pop (as in, popular art) single (as in, single comic) and I want people to open it and hear the little apocalypse romance Steve, Tamra, Clayton and myself have come up with. There’s not enough singles in comics, and I’m so glad we’ve got to do one.”
Lieber added: “It was such a pleasure to work with Kieron, Tamra, and Clayton on this weird, wonderful story, watching the world end while a perfect pop song plays.”
Closer will be available at comic book shops and across digital platforms on Wednesday, September 3.
