Lost Fantasy reunites Pires with Money artist Luca Casalanguida. The first issue boasts cover art from Casalanguida, Alex Diotto, Darick Robertson, and Jae Lee. The series will also feature a serialized backup story, Indigo Children: Exodus, a continuation of Pires' sci-fi series, Indigo Children.
Image Comics provides the following synopsis:
In Lost Fantasy, a hidden magical world exists beneath our own. First contact occurred over a century ago following a natural disaster, creating a rift that unleashed monsters into our reality. Since then, elite monster hunters, known as The Great Hunters, have collaborated with global leaders to safeguard our world. However, a recent catastrophic event in Montana has disrupted the fragile peace, threatening both worlds. Rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart must now confront this new threat.
Pires shared his excitement with IGN:
“I’m thrilled to be back at Image Comics with Lost Fantasy—a series blending my love for Western comics like East of West and Something is Killing the Children with the immersive world-building and action of the JRPGs I grew up with,” Pires stated. “The protagonist's spiky hair and greatsword are a direct tribute to Tetsuya Nomura's iconic Final Fantasy character designs.”
He continued, “The ‘Lost’ in the title is a subtle nod to Hironobu Sakaguchi's Lost Odyssey, a criminally underrated masterpiece from Mistwalker.”
Lost Fantasy #1 arrives on April 30, 2025. For more on upcoming comics, explore the anticipated releases from Marvel and DC in 2025.
