Doug Wagner and Doug Dabbs are teaming for Klik Klik Boom at Image Comics. The five-issue mini-series launches in June 2023.
“I can’t wait for everyone to see the insanity Doug, Matt, Ed, and I cooked up for this book. When this was all starting to stew, I told Doug Dabbs the muses were speaking to me about mixing movies like Fargoand The Fifth Element with the artistic inspirations of Robert Valley and Bengal,” said Wagner in a press release from Image Comics. “I wanted to try to find this balance between the old and the new, between neon cyberpunk and crime noir, and wrap all of that in a modern-day action tour de force tortilla. The team didn’t let me down.”
In Klik Klik Boom, readers meet Sprout, a mute assassin who communicates exclusively through polaroid pictures. After being raised by her doomsday-prepping grandfather in the rolling hills of Idaho, Sprout has grown up with little exposure to other people, TV, or seen clothes outside of Army fatigues. Now she’s headed to the big lights of New York City to avenge her grandfather’s murder, but will the city’s mesmerizing glitz and glam help her succeed—or be the death of her?
Klik Klik Boom #1 arrives on June 21, 2023.
