Lion Forge To Release Murder Mystery Series r(ender);

r(ender);, a ten-issue series murder mystery series from Lion Forge, is coming to comic book shop in April 2019. 

Writer Leah Williams and artist Lenka Simeckova will headline the creative team, according to the reveal from The Hollywood Reporter. 

The synopsis from the THR report: 

The story of Emie Ocampo, a photographer who can share the last images from the eyes of the dead — a skill that detective Natalie Bixel can use (even if she’s not entirely convinced by Ocampo’s abilities) to find the truth behind a series of unsolved murders in the neo-noir world of New Delith, the setting for the comic book series.

“I joke about r(ender); being ‘X-Files, but lesbians and magic’ or ‘seapunk tech noir’ but really it’s a cyberpunk neo-noir story that takes place on the fraying edge between magic and technology,” Williams said. 

Williams has penned scripts for Marvel, BOOM! and Dynamite. 

Look for r(ender); at comic shops in early 2019.
