BOOM! Studios announced that Dan Panosian and Alessio Avallone are teaming up for The Last Boy, a reimagining of Peter Pan’s adventures.
Years after Peter Pan’s adventures with Wendy Darling, the boy who wouldn’t grow up is now the last one in Neverland still clinging to his adventurous youth. Meanwhile in London, Wendy also yearns for childhood and its freedom from responsibility as she rails against the transition to adulthood and her family’s expectations.
As their desires create a mirror of fantasy and reality, a disastrous encounter with the aging Captain Hook becomes the catalyst for Peter’s realization that Neverland is growing up without him.
But will the two of them find each other once again to carry on their age-old adventures…or is this truly the final threshold of their adolescence?
“Having grown up fascinated with the Peter Pan films and books, I desperately wanted to tell a Peter Pan and Wendy story that takes place years after they encountered one another,” said series creator Dan Panosian in a press release from BOOM! Studios. “I wondered what would happen if everyone around Peter grew up but he still hadn’t, even if his very life and those he loved depended on it!”
The Last Boy #1 is scheduled to arrive on March 19, 2025.
