Lost Fantasy reunites Pires with Money artist Luca Casalanguida. The first issue boasts cover art from a stellar team: 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.
Image Comics provides the following synopsis:
In Lost Fantasy, a hidden magical realm exists beneath our own. Over a century ago, a natural disaster triggered first contact, creating a rift that unleashed monsters into our world. 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 shattered the fragile peace, threatening both worlds. Rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart must rise to the challenge and prevent further devastation.
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, Snow White-esque hair and giant sword are a direct tribute to Tetsuya Nomura's iconic design for Cloud in Final Fantasy."
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 releases April 30, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest in the comic book world, including Marvel and DC's 2025 releases.
