Zenescope's Fly Returns with Fly: The Fall

Zenescope does have a repertoire that exists outside of all their takes on traditional fairy tales. One of those takes was Raven Gregory's Fly, an original series that posits the question of what life would be like if a drug made you a superhero. It was successful enough to warrant a sequel called Fly: The Fall.

“I can't tell you how anxious I've been to return to this world,” shares Gregory. “There are few books I write that I can pour myself into like this. All the pain and personal struggles make this story the perfect outlet to express how addiction is an ongoing battle, even when one’s clean.”

The title is written by Gregory and illustrated by Robert Gill and features cover art by David Mack, Ale Garza and Darick Robertson. Fly: The Fall continues soon after the life-shattering events of the last volume. Following the death if his ex-girlfriend, Eddie is now a broken man set on a path of self-destruction from which he may not return. Meanwhile Francis sets his game-plan in motion to destroy the man who killed is father.

“What I love about this story is how dark and grounded it is. Ultimately it’s a very character-driven drama which happens to include lots of great action and a badass vengeance plot.” says Zenescope’s EIC Ralph Tedesco “It’s such a personal story for Raven which parallels his own battle with addiction and I think that’s why so many people connect to the series and why it’s been so well received by both fans and critics.”

Fly: The Fall #1 hits shelves in October and is available for order in this month’s Diamond Previews.
