Insight Comics has revealed their 2018 lineup, which includes graphic novel tie-ins for hit media franchises and an erotic action-adventure bande dessinee.
The Mafia III: The Rise and Fall of Sal Marcano video game will get a graphic novel adaptation courtesy of Frank Tieri and Richard Pace. J.H. Williams III (Promethea, Batwoman) provides the cover for the April 2018 release.
Tieri is also scripting the adventures of John McClane in Die Hard, a new comic series based on the hit movie franchise that kicks off by delving into McClane’s rookie year. The title is set for stores in May 2018.
Bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson (Dune, Star Wars) will write XCOM 2, based on the video game that pits human rebels against an alien occupation. Michael Penick will draw the graphic novel, which will be in stores in June 2018.
Around September 2018, Insight will release Djinn, a bande dessinee from writer Jean Dufaux and artist Ana Miralles. The erotic action-adventure series follows the paths of two different women -- one past, one present -- as each respectively navigates the harems of the Ottoman Empire, modern-day Turkey, and beyond.
Insight Editions launched the Insight Comics imprint earlier this year (see “Insight Launches Graphic Novel Imprint”). The division has two OGNs scheduled for release this fall (see “Two Very Different Heroines Face Down Dystopias”).
