Brett Weldele and Nathan Edmonson have been busy toiling away in the dungeons of Image Comics, let out for five minutes a day to see the light. Actually, that's not really true. I'm sure Image has much better working conditions than that, but you have to wonder if such conditions would make the upcoming series
The Light even more scary.
"THE LIGHT is everything I love about horror combined into one story," Edmondson explained. "From a terror rooted in something everyone can relate to and broken protagonists doing their best to overcome absolute despair, this is the comic I've been wanting to read. Brett brings it to life with stunning visuals that grow in intensity as the story progresses."
The series is about a mysterious virus that infects anyone that looks into an electric light. Some survive with blindfolds while those less fortunate burn alive from the inside out. Yeah, it's pretty graphic. The first issue will be hitting stores April 14.
Full press release after the jump.
