Ridley Scott, the director of Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, and countless other all-time movie classics, is moving into the graphic novel arena for the first time. He will be teaming up with the newly-formed comics division of Mechanical Cake for three planned launches on which he "will lend his meticulous eye and unmatched world-building skills to the projects," according to a statement released to the press.
The first of these will be Modville, described as a "sci-fi/southern gothic crime drama" featuring AI humans known as "mods". We're told that eight books of Modville will be forthcoming, drawn by Hendry Prasetya and Eko Puteh, with a release date for the first volume set for March 2025.
