In the summer of 1994, a haunted house walks across California. Inside is Ami, lead singer of a high school punk band—who’s been missing for weeks. How did she get there, and what do these ghosts want? Expect three-chord songs and big bloody action that’s Power Rangers meets The Shining (yes, really).
Hook this book directly to my goddamn veins.
Home Sick Pilots is the next Image book from writer Dan Watters (Coffin Bound, Lucifer), artist Caspar Wijngaard (Star Wars, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt), letterer Aditya Bidikar and designer Tom “Tommy Data Pages” Muller. The first issue is scheduled to drop Dec. 9. Check out preview pages below.
Watters and Wijngaard debuted at Image with Limbo in 2015.
“They say write what you know—well what I know is a teenage hellscape filled with pitfalls and secret etiquettes and beautiful broken people,” Watters said in a news release from Image. “We’re about to send the Home Sick Pilots—the power trio of Ami, Buzz and Rip—out of that same hellscape into another, and hope that they survive.”
“We’ve all had at least one unforgettable summer as teens, late nights, parties, gigs, stolen booze, heartbreak and most importantly friendships. Except in this instance the teens are causing chaos in ectoplasmic power suits whilst haunted houses are fist fighting on the horizon,” added Wijngaard.
Our body is ready.
