“Red Roots is the shining example of what comics can be at their best. A wholly original concept with characters you are instantly invested in as they traverse a story with twists and turns you could never predict. This is the comic series you’ve been waiting your whole life for.” —Robert Kirkman, Invincible
Superstar artist and rising star writer Lorenzo de Felici (Oblivion Song, Void Rivals, Kroma) highly anticipated ongoing series, Red Roots, will launch with a slew of eye-popping variant covers by such high-flyers as Ryan Ottley(Invincible), Mike Mignola (Hellboy), Luana Vecchio(Lovesick), Riley Rossmo(The Moon is Following Us), and Jason Howard(The Astounding Wolf-Man). This pulse-pounding new adventure will kick off in April from Image Comics.
De Felici rose to prominence with the launch of Oblivion Song—his co-creation with Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead)—and his subsequent success as the artist on the tentpole Energon Universe title, also with Kirkman, Void Rivals. De Felici and Kirkman’s creative alchemy set the Energon Universe on a path to sales-chart-domination and Void Rivals in-and-of-itself went on to become one of the biggest launches of 2024. It is currently on its 12th reprint with no signs of slowing down in momentum. This recent breakout success makes Felici’s upcoming solo series one of the most exciting new developments in comics of the year.
In Red Roots, the lives of a professional killer and a high school teacher are bound by a terrifying, mysterious force.
De Felici spoke in-depth about the new series launch in a recent episode of the Let’s Talk Comics podcast.
