Image Comics announced Kid Cudi is teaming with writer Kyle Higgins and artist Marco Locati for Moon Man, a new series launching in January 2024.
Moon Man follows Ramon Townsend, a man ready for a quiet life after gaining unexpected celebrity status for steering his ship and crew safely home from a near-disastrous moon mission. Whatever went wrong on that failed moon mission, whatever happened in the missing minutes the cameras didn’t capture, all Ramon really wants is to settle down back home in Cleveland. But those missing minutes hold an Earth-shattering secret—and, with all eyes turned to him, Ramon will soon find himself becoming something the world has never seen before.
“This might be one of the top three coolest things I’ve ever been a part of. This story is something that took a lot of love from everyone involved, and I’m so excited for the world to finally experience Moon Man,” said Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi. “I promise you this comic will be unlike anything you’ve read before. To each and every person that picks up a copy and shows support in January—I love you more than you can imagine. Thank you!”
“Moon Man is a book about What’s Next—what’s next for Ramon Townsend, for superhero stories, for humanity. In the face of corporations that seek only to possess and control, the ideals that make up our best heroes have never been more relevant,” said writer Kyle Higgins in a press release. “This is a series that will explore not only what it means to come into great power, but also what it means to discover the truth about the world—and the universe—around us. What kind of change is Ramon willing to make?”
Moon Man #1 arrives on January 31, 2024.
