Dark Horse Comics has announced Motherbridge: Seeds of Change, a new graphic novel from George Mann and Aleta Vidal that arrives in May 2022.
In the aftermath of a failed utopia, an exiled woman fights to be reunited with her children by harnessing the mythic power that changed the planet forever.
Twenty years ago, the World Mother awoke, forming an enormous “worldbridge” from manmade ruins and knotted vegetation that spanned the globe. Borders fell, millions migrated, and legendary creatures returned to the forests. But recently, the World Mother has gone silent, and the worldbridge has begun to wither. Borders are being reinstated. Now, one woman, cast out by her adoptive nation, must assemble a team of outcasts to reawaken the World Mother and bring down the wall separating her from her family.
“Motherbridge is a story very close to my heart, and one that’s been bubbling away in my subconscious for many years,” said George Mann in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “In some ways it’s a reaction to the global difficulties we’re all living through at the moment—climate change, species extinction, isolationist politics—but it’s also very much a story of hope and love. At its heart, this is a tale about family, both biological and found, and about how even the smallest acts of compassion can change the world for the better. It’s been a joy to work on this book with Aleta and watch her bring Hayley and her world to stunning, vivid life.”
Motherbridge: Seeds of Change has a SRP of $19.99 and arrives on May 18, 2022.
