Image Comics Announces Repossessed

At first glance, you might Image Comics is on the verge of straining something. After all, the publisher continues to crank out more and more top-notch stuff with little regard for time in between. The latest work they've got cooking is a brand new series from JM Ringuet called Repossessed.

"What I wanted to do was to create a packed fun action thrill-ride, something that would feel like barreling down a highway in a muscle car with loud rock music blasting from the radio and a bunch of friends laughing in the backseat," said Ringuet, who both writes and illustrates Repossessed. "I wanted to make it explosive, surprising, funny, with something new on every page."

No-nonsense Joe, swaggering Clay and whip-smart Martha are the best repo team at Dee Agency. Their demon-vanquishing gear consists of big guns, bigger grimoires and a good supply of silver bullets and saints' teeth—and they know how to use them! (Though Clay does tend to be heavy on the bombastic combat talk). They'll need all of their skills to complete a seemingly easy mission to repossess a rich girl who has run away to Las Vegas—because this is one case of something that happens in Vegas not staying in Vegas.

The first issue of this Dodge Charger (with a sweet flame paint job) of a comic is due in stores on January 9. Pre-order it at your local comics store from the November issue of Previews now.
