Comic Sequel For David Cronenberg's The Fly

Article Image 09b0The story that began in David Cronenberg's film update of The Fly continues with a five-issue miniseries The Fly: Outbreak (JAN150480) written by Brandon Seifert (Hellraiser, Witch Doctor) with painted interior and cover art by menton3 (Silent Hill, Monocyte). Issue one will hit in March and will boast variant covers by Jason Edmiston and Lukas Ketner.
 
Years ago, a scientist had a horrific accident when he tried to use his newly invented teleportation device and became a human/fly hybrid. Now his almost-human son continues to search for a cure for the mutated genes. But a breakthrough turns into a breakout, and anyone exposed risks turning into a monster as well.
 
"To be totally honest, The Fly is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen!" said Seifert. "It was really resonant for its time. And in the last 20 years or so, with all the advances in Genetically Modified Organisms, the film has taken on a lot of meaning it didn't originally have. It's really exciting to explore those elements in this mini-series — and great to have an amazing, super-distinctive artist like menton3 on the visuals!"
 
“Equal parts gory allegory and tragic love story, The Fly was perhaps David Cronenberg’s crowning achievement,” says editor Denton J. Tipton. “That’s a lot to live up to, but I believe Brandon and Menton are equal to the task. The script is sharp and poignant, and the art is visceral and haunting. No one is safe.”
