Dark Horse Comics is reviving one series that they’ve had before with Lone Wolf & Cub 2100. The new incarnation of the series is set to debut on January 6th, 2016 for the first of a four issue run. The new book is set to be written by Eric Heisserer (Shaper) and illustrated by Miguel Sepulveda (Red Lanterns, Action Comics) as it provides a new re-imagining of Kazuo Koike’s classic manga Lone Wolf and Cub.
“It’s a genuine privilege to get to write for a title as iconic as Lone Wolf and Cub, and the 2100 setting allows me an opportunity to tell a fresh iteration of this story,” said Heisserer. “The best science fiction holds up a mirror to contemporary society and exaggerates all its flaws (but also its beauty). That’s what I aspire to do with the ideas behind Lone Wolf 2100.”
Plot concept: AD 2100: A devastating manmade plague is turning the human race into cannibalistic monsters known as the Thrall. But there is hope: young Daisy Ogami’s blood holds the secret to a cure—if Itto, her android protector, can get her to a place where it can be extracted!
