Following in the footsteps of Image Comics founders Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee, best-selling X-Men artist David Marquez has switched to Image for The UnChosen — an all-new 4-issue series.
David Marquez has been in the forefront of Marvel Comics in recent years, working on some top projects including Civil War II, Invincible Iron Man, Miles Morales, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, and All-New X-Men. Next month, the artist publishes The UnChosen at Image Comics, a 4 issue work that he both wrote and illustrated.
Check out the official synopsis for The UnChosen:
Thirteen-year-old Aida wakes in a city laid waste by a massive explosion—a scene of devastation that SHE caused. Pursued by rival forces wielding incredible powers, she must discover who truly wants to help her, who wants to control her, and the truth behind her own mysterious past.
“Action. Magic. Drama,” Marquez teased. “The UnChosen is the comic I couldn’t find—so I made it! A high-octane fusion of fantasy, sci-fi, and superheroics with bold world building and big stakes.”
“Going back to the very beginning, Image has a long tradition of providing fan-favorite talent creative freedom and a platform for greater success after they’ve done their time at Marvel, so it’s always exciting to welcome someone as incredible as David into the fold,” said Eric Stephenson, Chief Creative Officer and Publisher at Image Comics. “My first exposure to David’s work was All-New X-Men, but he’s done just about everything at Marvel—Spider-Man, Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy—before returning to the X-Office to help Gail Simone turn Uncanny X-Men into one of last year’s biggest relaunches, and it has been amazing to watch him go from awesome to even more awesome along the way! The UnChosen is the logical next next step in his creative journey—we’re going to need some new superlatives!”
