For over two years bestselling writers Jeff Lemire (BLACK HAMMER; DESCENDER), Matt Kindt (BANG!; MIND MGMT), and internationally acclaimed artist David Rubín (ETHER; BEOWULF) have worked in secret on an all new, original graphic novel. The book, titled COSMIC DETECTIVE, is an epic science fiction mystery that asks: when a God is murdered, who solves the crime?
Cosmic Detective is now up on Kickstarter and after only a few days is really close to being fully funded. Cosmic Detective sounds like a fun rump and with the artistic minds behind it, I am looking forward to getting my hands on either the graphic novel or the card game that is being designed as well.
In COSMIC DETECTIVE, a God is found dead. Foul play is suspected. But who investigates the murder of a god? Not just anyone, that’s for damn sure. Enter our Detective. He’s got a wife, a kid, and a seemingly normal day job as a private eye. But for years, he’s been working for a secret underground cabal of shadowy figures, an organization committed to an uneasy alliance with cosmic forces beyond our imagining.
In COSMIC DETECTIVE, the murder of the god threatens to unhinge the gods and tear apart the very fabric of our reality. Only our detective stands in the way of utter destruction. But will the mystery he uncovers be worse than the disaster he’s trying to avert? And will his mind crack under the revelations he’s about to uncover before he can do anything about it?
With beautiful art and a bonkers noir style story, Cosmic Detective appears to be right up my alley! Look for it on Kickstarter now and hopefully on comic shelves near you in the future!
