ACCLAIMED MINI-SERIES DEVOLUTION TO BE released AS A trade PAPERBACK IN AUGUST
Media release — In January of 2016, Dynamite home entertainment introduced Devolution, an original series from Rick Remender, the acclaimed writer of Black Science, Low, and Deadly Class, pairing him with the dynamic art stylings of Jonathan Wayshak. Now, the brutal miniseries that caught the fascinated attention of fans and movie critics alike is collected with lots of time to top every year-end list!
In Devolution, every living creature on earth has been devolved, the evolutionary clock turned back, reverting all life to strange mutations and prehistoric incarnations. The cities of man are bit much more than bloody territories ruthlessly dominated by tribal Neanderthals ruling from the backs of mammoths, packs of saber-toothed tigers, and huge man-eating insects. Raja, one of the few staying “Still Sapien” humans, heads to San Francisco to find the antidote for the world-changing DVO-8 viral agent. but to cross the wasteland, she’ll have to convince the last pocket of humanity to join her quest… and make it through the Nazi hillbillies that guideline them with fear!
“To see something I composed years ago given so much amazing like from Jon Wayshak, colorist Jordan Boyd, and letterer Rus Wooton is a unusual treat,” states writer Rick Remender. “I rejoice in the rendering. It’s worth the cost of admission to see what these three have done.”
“Working with Rick was a great experience. I’m pleased that we finally were able to get together and get something like Devolution going,” states series artist Jonathan Wayshak. “It was a ton of fun and I got to draw what I wanted. I couldn’t request more!”
“Rick and Jon have crafted a gnarly, mean-spirited gem whose central concerns about human nature might hit closer to home than we’d all like, and I’m psyched beyond belief that I got to help bring their grotesque vision to life,” states Jordan Boyd, colorist.
“When Rick and I first discussed this series, the concept blew me away,” states Dynamite CEO and Publisher, Nick Barrucci. “It was both exciting and ambitious, the type of idea only a writer of Rick’s caliber could truly pull off. When the art started coming in, and we saw what Jonathan Wayshak and the rest of the team were bringing to the table, we really had hit a high watermark in storytelling.”
Devolution will be solicited in diamond Comic Distributors’ June 2016 Previews catalog, the premiere source of product for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in August. Comic book fans are motivated to reserve copies of Devolution with their local comic book retailers. This collection will also be available for individual customer purchase with digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, and Dark horse Digital.
