PORTLAND, Ore. 12/18/2024 — Bestselling creative trio—writer Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals, Hawkeye), artist/colorist Terry Dodson (Red One, Harley Quinn), and inker Rachel Dodson (Red One, Harley Quinn)—join forces for an all-new Adventureman chapter in the upcoming, Adventureman: Family Tree. This three issue story arc is set to launch this December from Image Comics.
As the Connell family reels from the shattering events of Adventureman: Ghost Lights, they’ll need to tap into the roots of the Adventureman family tree of heroes to make the world right again, starting with a luchador dynasty, savage savate kick-fighting, and the star-crossed teenage romance that brought Adventureman and Mme. Chagall the Superscientist together!
“We’re thrilled to be kicking off a brand new arc of standalone stories that grow the genre-mashed world of Adventureman and gives our cast moments to shine as Claire, her sisters, and readers, learn about the history of the pulp heroes whose mantles they’ve inherited,” said Fraction.
Terry Dodson added: “This is most excited I’ve been about Adventureman, as the story is hitting at a break neck pace with action, and there’s tons of great character moments and elements. Matt has come up with some amazing scenarios, places and characters and we’re having an absolute blast playing in the ADVENTUREWORLD!
I can’t for everyone to see how we are tying everything together for a big finale!”
Adventureman: Family Tree #1 Cover by Dodson and Adventureman: Family Tree #1 Cover B by Rion Chow will both be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
Fraction will also be making an appearance at Powell’s City of Books on Saturday, January 4 @ 3:00 PMto promote the Adventureman series. Adventureman, Volume One collects issues #1-5 and is available now.
Select praise for the Adventureman series:
“A fully realized pulp story and family comic held together by metafictional strings. Yes, Grant Morrison fans, there’s a sigil.
Plus, there’s a never-ending flurry of widescreen pages with detailed art.
A fan of a type of story finding herself in the middle of one is just good old fashioned comfort food for dark times.” —Graphic Policy
“Books like these are why I love comics: the sheer audacity, the genuine warmth, the emphasis on why stories matter.” —Black Nerd Problems
“Matt Fraction has something pretty cool brewing here. I’m ready for my second serving.
