X-Men writer Si Spurrier is teaming up with artists Matias Bergara (Coda) and colorist Matheus Lopes (Supergirl) on a wordless fantasy comic, Step By Bloody Step. The work is a co-production of Image Comics and the French publisher Editions Dupuis and will be published in both the U.S. and France.

The story follows a young child and an armored giant as they make their way through a fantastical landscape, encountering dangerous animals, bandits, and different civilizations along the way. They can neither stop their travels nor explain why they are on this journey.

Image will publish Step by Bloody Step as four double-size comics, with the first issue due out on February 23 2022. Dupuis will publish the French edition, titled Saison du Sang, in June 2022.

Spurrier and Bergara worked together on Coda, a 12-issue series published by BOOM! Studios in 2018 (see “ICv2 Interview: BOOM! Studios’ Ross Richie”).
