BOOM! Studios’ Boom! Box imprint announced it will release Michael Dialynas’ Zawa + The Belly of the Beast in November 2023.
Trapped for eternity inside her mountain by pollution-spewing factories, the ancient guardian spirit Zawa only has industrial run-off to eat, leading her to a bitter existence of paranoia and destruction. But when two siblings from a nearby village, Bandit and Thatcher, help her escape, they’ll quickly learn that the way to calm Zawa’s heart is through a well nourished stomach!
ZAWA + THE BELLY OF THE BEAST #1 features a main cover by Michael Dialynas with variants by artists Jorge Corona (Batgirls), Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy), and more!
“I’ve done it! I’ve managed to swindle BOOM! into letting me write and draw my series! ZAWA + THE BELLY OF THE BEAST has all my art passions, from drawing tasty foods to weird creepy monsters in a cottage-core apocalyptic seaside city! This is a story about facing your own fears and standing up for what you believe…plus it has a cute guard cat and a chill chicken,” said Dialynas in a press release from BOOM! Studios. “It’s gonna be awesome!”
Zawa + The Belly of the Beast arrives on November 8, 2023.
