Midnight Society: The Black Lake introduces secret agent Matilda Finn, a modern version of those pulp heroes of yore, and, among other things, Loch Ness? Sounds pretty cool, right?
Midnight Society: The Black Lake is the first creator-owned project from Drew Edward Johnson (Wonder Woman) and will be in stores June 17th. Follow the jump for a look at the cover for issue #1 – and further details.
DREW EDWARD JOHNSON’S FIRST CREATOR-OWNED SERIES, ‘MIDNIGHT SOCIETY: THE BLACK LAKE,’ COMES TO DARK HORSE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILWAUKIE, OR—In June, Drew Edward Johnson (Wonder Woman) makes his creator-owned debut, combining intrigue, secret agents, monsters, and more in Midnight Society: The Black Lake.
Forty years ago, England’s greatest adventurers cast aside their friendship, making a choice that would come to haunt humanity. Now, secret agent Matilda Finn will face the consequences of that choice as she aids in a frantic rescue operation at Scotland’s Loch Ness, where something terrible is waiting to draw her into the fight of her life!
“I began my career in comics working with Dark Horse on Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron,” Johnson told Comics Bulletin. “To bring my first creator-owned project to Dark Horse Comics is a great homecoming for me. Especially given the opportunity to work with my editor, Philip Simon, whom I had the good fortune of working with in the early days of my career. I’m thrilled and honored to join Dark Horse’s line of genre-bending horror-adventure books, like Hellboy, B.P.R.D., The Goon, and so many more, which have all influenced my work heavily over the years.”
