PREVIEW: Seven to Eternity #1

[CBR News]

Writer Rick Remender reteams with collaborators Jerome Opeña (Uncanny X-Force, Fear Agent) and Matt Hollingsworth (TOKYO GHOST, WYTCHES) to bring readers a modern fantasy series following Adam Osidis, a dying knight from a disgraced house, on a mission to rid his world of an insidious God who ensnared him in a Faustian deal.
"Jerome and I began working together at Image ten years ago on titles such as Strange Girl and Fear Agent so it's very fitting we return now to tell the tale of the Seven to Eternity. All those years ago we began discussing doing an epic fantasy tale at some point, should the planets ever align. A unique take on the familiar genre full of action, unexpected twists, totally unique characters and a villain who might end up stealing the show," said Remender. "It's taken us a decade to get it together, but the wait was worth it. During the past decade we've collaborated on numerous projects and fine-tuned our mighty nerd skills to a point where what we create here will eclipse our past collaborations. At least I know the art is Jerome's best to date. Everyone loves Jerome and Matt Hollingsworth, but once their powers were mixed into the art cauldron something new and terrifying was born, a new level of sequential science. Hyperbole be dammed, there will be no better looking comic book in the world of human peoples."
Gharils Sulm, The God of Whispers is a Machiavellian warlord who holds sway everywhere in the world of Zhal. He's spread an omnipresent paranoia to every corner of the kingdoms; one of his spies hides in every house, every family, every hall, spreading mistrust and fear.
Adam must choose between joining a hopeless band of magic users in their desperate bid to free their world of the evil God's burden or give in to the The God of Whispers' promises of salvation and safety.
The series is set to launch in the Fall of 2016.

That's some great art. And considering the art is what turned me off Low more than the writing this may be worth a shot.

[GDC3]

A for-sure buy for me.

[Mundungus]

I love all of Remender's current creator-owned output and the Remender/Opena team is one of the best peanut butter and chocolate combo teams in comics so sign me the hell up!

[cc008]

Ugh... need it.

[Shinglepants]

I go as "Rick Remender reteams with collaborators Jerome" and it was already an auto-buy.

I guess I was wrong. I don't yet have enough Remender in my life.

Can you ever have enough Remender in your life?

[Danny Rand's Other Fist]

Urgh, the art looks incredible. Plus Remender is one of my faves, so definitely gonna be getting this.

Remender's making it even easier to pick this up by ending Tokyo Ghost at issue #10. Easy replacement book lol.

Did he finally confirm/commit to ending it at 10? He's talked before in interviews and Twitter about having two endings in mind for issue 10. One that would end it for sure, and another that would allow for the continuation of the series as he has other ideas and themes that he's said he'd maybe like to tell but wasn't sure if it would be good for the overall story if really continuing it beyond 10 would be good for the book.

I can't wait for Seven to Eternity! My only concern is Opena keeping a regular monthly schedule even when they will go on the now typical three to four month hiatus to get caught up. But, I'll be getting this regardless.

I wish he were ending Black Science instead.

[Mjolnir]

I wish he were ending Black Science instead.

Well, that book as Remender recently said, is in for the long haul. Count on this probably lasting 50 or 60 issues. He's talked before about this being a big epic story. Same thing for Low. Personally I love Black Science so I'm happy it'll be around a while. I'm sorry you don't like it.

He said in the letters column of an issue it was ending at 10, but they could always come back to it some time.

[runwithit]

well this is definitely going on the remender pull list...
