Chuck Austen Breaks Down the Influences For His New ComiXology Series, Edgeworld
Next week, ComiXology Originals will drop the fourth and penultimate issue of
Edgeworld, a miniseries from veteran comics and animation writer Chuck Austen and artist Pat Olliffe. In his return to comics after years away, Austen opted to write a space western, in which "local people are disappearing and it's up to Killian Jess, Magistrate of Rush, and his odd group of friends to find out what's going on. But they've got freak sandstorms, a hostile military government and the aftermath of a planet-wide war to wade through in order to reach the answers they seek." It's a visually cool book and a surprising choice if you don't know Austen's mind.
